15 posts | 19 read | 9 to read
In this third installment in the New York Times bestselling series from Edgar Award winner James Ponti, the young group of spies help a fellow agent in another international adventure perfect for fans of Spy School and Mrs. Smith’s Spy School for Girls. After taking down a mole within their organization, the City Spies are ready for their next mission—once again using their unique skills and ability to infiltrate places adults can’t. The sinister Umbra has their sights set on recruiting a North Korean nuclear physicist by any means necessary, and the City Spies plan to keep an eye on his son by sending Paris to the chess prodigy’s tournaments in Moscow and Beijing. Meanwhile, Sydney’s embedded as a junior reporter for a teen lifestyle site as she follows the daughter of a British billionaire on tour with the biggest act on her father’s music label to uncover what links both the band and the billionaire have to a recent threat from an old Soviet missile base. From a daring break-in at one of London’s most exclusive homes to a dangerous undercover mission to a desperate search and rescue operation on the streets of Beijing, the City Spies have their work cut out for them on their most dangerous mission yet.

What a great start to a cute series! I was pleased with the setups and little twists. There was quite a bit of backstory and at first I thought it was just there to be there, but it all paid off. My son and I are looking forward to reading the next one.

Breezed through this one in two days…the character development continued to be solid, but I found the plot for this sequel a little disappointing. There were only a couple of clever moments and the danger/obstacles felt pretty remote. Overall it was a pleasant sequel, but not as good as the first two.

This was a fun, action packed read. It includes a great group of characters. All of them come from different parts of the world with some kind of difficult background and are learning to work together as spies for MI6. In this first book, Brooklyn becomes a part of the group and they participate in an international science competition while also working to protect those involved.

I enjoyed this new kids book! It has a nice pace, fun characters and I finished it in 2 days! The author gets a little confusing with his pronoun usage, but otherwise I would recommend it as a good read.

This book was a definite page Turner and had me read the book whenever I had the time! It is an awesome book, hence me finishing it in 2 days! I would recommend this book to anyone because it really is well written and there is a plot one a while.

Justice doesn't require a membership cart. Just a sense of right and wrong.

So I did thus challenge and as a prize I got to keep a book and I got city spies! And the best part is that when I took off the paper cover and my dream cam true! It was completely black and on the margin there was written 'city spies' in gold!

I have been all about adventure stories lately! It doesn‘t get more adventurous than teenaged spies pulling off a mission. This book was all kinds of fun. I read the last quarter standing in my kitchen plugged into the outlet because I couldn‘t go to bed without knowing the ending!
