Editing Spy fiction (section)

==For children and adolescents==

===Books and novels===
In every medium, spy thrillers introduce children and adolescents to deception and espionage at earlier ages. The genre ranges from action-adventure, such as [[Chris Ryan]]'s ''Alpha Force'' series, through the historical espionage dramas of Y. S. Lee, to the girl orientation of [[Ally Carter]]'s ''Gallagher Girls'' series, beginning with ''[[I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You]]''.

Leading examples include the ''[[Agent Cody Banks]]'' film, the [[Alex Rider]] adventure novels by [[Anthony Horowitz]], and the [[CHERUB]] series, by [[Robert Muchamore]]. Ben Allsop, one of England's youngest novelists, also writes spy fiction. His titles include ''Sharp'' and ''The Perfect Kill''.

Other authors writing for adolescents include [[A. J. Butcher]], [[Joe Craig (writer)|Joe Craig]], [[Charlie Higson]], [[Andy McNab]] and [[Francine Pascal]].

===Films and shows===
Spy-related films that are aimed towards younger audiences include movies such as the [[Spy Kids (film)|Spy Kids]] series of films and ''[[The Spy Next Door]]''. Shows and series in this category also include a [[subplot]] of ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' following [[Perry the Platypus]] in his attempt to sabotage [[Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz|Doofenshmirtz's]] plans to take over the geographically ambiguous [[Tri-state area]]. However, the [[Cartoon Network]] show ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' is solely focused on the eponymous Kids Next Door organization, consisting of child spies and [[child soldier]]s fighting and spying on adult and [[teenage]] villains, who are [[personification]]s of the things children dislike while growing up (e.g. [[bullying]], [[Grounding (discipline technique)|grounding]], [[homework]], going to the [[dentist]], going to [[school]], being [[Force-feeding|force-fed]] [[vegetables]], getting banned from drinking [[Soft drinks|soda]], [[helicopter parent]]ing, [[piano lesson]]s, and [[spanking]]), and whilst not being traditional government sponsored intelligence, the Kids Next Door market themselves as so. Another example of a kids' show in the spy genre is [[Disney]]'s ''[[Kim Possible]]'', which centers on the [[Kim Possible (character)|eponymous protagonist]] as she fights megalomaniac villains in a similar manner to [[James Bond]], while foiling the evil plans of the main antagonist of the show, [[Dr. Drakken]].
