This book is about

Cammie Morgan’s spy skills again take her past the walls of the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women – a school that itself is undercover as a spy school. This time, Cammie and her friend Macey are in some trouble. Macey’s dad is running for vice president and Macey has to follow her family around to campaign. That is, until a kidnapping plot turns both her and Cammie’s worlds upside down. Questions fill the girls’ minds and worry fills their hearts. New faces and old faces seem to follow Cammie everywhere, including a certain ex-boyfriend and a certain family member who has been missing from her life. All four girls are sure in for a challenge that will require every bit of their spy training.

On a scale of 1 to 5 (1=HATED it, 5=LOVED it) I would give this book a

5

I loved/hated this book because

While far more dramatic than the other two in Carter’s spy series, this latest installment maintains the lighthearted narration of a teenage girl. This book is definitely different than the other two. There is a lot more action, and it isn’t staged by her teachers this go-round. Instead of Cammie attempting to disappear as a pavement artist, this one is more about the danger of spying. I’m not saying this is bad or good, it kind of feels like a good progression for Cammie as a character. Many people say this is their favorite of the series, but I just can’t pick a favorite – I love them all!!
