When it comes to kids spy thrillers, my only past exposure to it had been either campy kids movies like Spy Kids or cartoon shows like Codename: Kids Next Door. So when I picked up this middle grade spy thriller, my expectations were pretty low. Now having finished this book, I have to say not only is it not campy at all, but it is incredibly fast-paced, deep, and intense. In fact, this may be one of the best books I have read this year so far.
