โš ๏ธ Safety alert: Puffin has paused sales of its childrenโ€™s Spy Dog, Spy Pups and Spy Cat series after discovering that a website printed in some editions now redirects to adult content with no age verification.

The link, originally used to promote the books and characters, has been taken over by an unrelated third party.

๐Ÿ“š Puffin is contacting schools and local authorities and has urged libraries to remove the books from shelves.

๐Ÿ  Families are advised to check copies at home and ensure children do not visit the web address listed in the book.

If needed, you can cover the printed link with a permanent marker to prevent accidental access.

The issue affects some editions across the series.
