Plot Summary:

When Cammie Morgan enrolled at the Gallagher Academy, she knew she was preparing for the dangerous life of a spy. What she didn't know was that the serious, real-life danger would start during her junior year of high school. But that's exactly what happened two months ago when Cammie faced off against an ancient terrorist organization dead set on kidnapping her. 

(Carter, n.d.)

Analysis:

This book was a delightful and mysterious adventure that kept me smiling and on my toes. It is part of a series of books, with three books preceding this one. The book stands alone without any necessary backstory to understand the plot.

“Reading the first three books in the series is helpful but not necessary. There's enough background information to bring readers up to speed on Cammie's world and past adventures. Humorous, fast-paced fun”. 

-Roth, K. (2010). Only the Good Spy Young. School Library Journal, 56(11), 108.

The main characters are tenacious and loyal friends. Like any good spy story, I was always wondering which characters were trustworthy. The teens are supported by parents and teachers who protect them and believe in them. 

The story is fast-paced and a quick read. Like many series, the familiar characters and formulaic plot development are comforting. Readers will want to read the whole series once they get started.

Book Reviews:

“Humorous, fast-paced fun.”

Connections:

- A fun and formulaic mystery that would be a good study for story form.
