I loved the author’s Sisters Grimm series, so when he came out with another series of books, I just had to read the book. Especially as a girl who wanted to be a spy when she grew up, this book was a dream come true.

I liked it enough to give it a B. It has its funny moments, and there were times I literally laughed out loud. It's my first middle grade book since I was in middle grade. I highly recommmend it to kids who like science and spy movies. It has a lesson about bullying, too.

Hey, it wasn't that bad. At first, I thought it was going to be about an average kid, but nope! It was very fast-paced as well. It took me long to read, but I did it.

Loved this. Laughed out loud. Think it's awesome it is set in Arlington, VA. Can't wait to read some of this book outloud to fifth and fourth graders.

I have read all five, and I like that each book spotlights a different team member. I probably would have put a 4 star except occasionally there is a section that talks to the reader that is sometimes condescending, sometimes gross, and that was disappointing. The rest is crazy weird and fun.

a great example of a book that, as an adult ~ I REALLY disliked. As a 6th grader, I would have loved it. The action and annoying humor would have been fun. The main character was so unlikable but he got what he deserved right?
But as an adult, this was truly miserable. The main narrator was AWFUL! Hyena, equally as horrific! Two selfish awful kids. The surrounding children did not redeem any part of the book. The barking Commander, librarian, principal and the Dad. ALL embarrassing horrible adults.
But, I can see a kid liking this.

Reading this as a kid was so much fun. Rereading it now still makes me wish i was half as cool as these kids. What kid doesn't dream of being a spy at some point in childhood??? psssh, i still want to be a spy....Anyways this book has it all. From the quirky characters to reader-interaction and cheesy jokes your inner kid cant help but reappearing.
