Puffin issues alert to schools and local authorities over books in popular Spy Dog series by Andrew Cope

The children's publisher Puffin is hurriedly contacting UK schools and local authorities after it discovered that a website address included in a popular children's book series had been hijacked by a pornography site.

The publisher has urged school libraries to remove the books after a website address printed in the Spy Dog, Spy Pups and Spy Cat series by Andrew Cope was redirected to unrestricted adult content.
