About US

My name is Milena Cora—and I am not your average kid. I have a secret—which I’ll only tell you if you promise not to tell anyone: 

I’m a spy—and I’m in training to become a full Secret Agent. 

You don’t think kids can be spies? Kids make great spies—they’re smart, observant and adults certainly wouldn’t suspect them. Like most kids I go to school, but I go to a cool spy school with classes like tracking, transportation, and escape. But my favorite part is when I am out on real live missions! When I’m out on a mission, I have to use all my spy skills to survive and solve crimes. I also get to use cool spy gear, learn new languages, and travel the world! 

In over 20 years as an intelligence officer and foreign area specialist for the U.S. military, I've had the chance to travel and live around the globe (45 countries and counting) and to learn multiple languages. I love to travel and explore new cultures and I'm excited to share these experiences with you. These books were originally just a fun bit of indulging my daughter's interest in becoming a spy, but they've become their own adventure! 

In these books, I hope to introduce you to the exciting worlds of international travel, foreign language, and of course, espionage.
