What can I say? The audio is always a breezy way for me to get to Santa Fe and back while giving me a few chuckles.

My friend gave this to me to read and, as a British person, it was pretty funny- where did the author get some of this stuff?? Water closet?? What??
It wasn't very well written but it only took me a few hours to read and it was fun, so I'm not complaining!
I also have a bit of a problem with books that have romance drama between 12 year olds be a plotline, but that's just me I guess??

Fun(ny) fact(s): I definitely am binge-reading this instead of doing my work, but isn't that kind of what grad school is for?  

Favorite quote/image: "If you're upset about failing to contribute to the mission, then stop moping around and start contributing." (Ch. 9)

Honorable mention: "One of the biggest drawbacks to being a spy is that you don't get to do much sightseeing." (Ch. 4)

Why: I think the only thing more implausible than teenagers thwarting terrorist plots of world domination is the idea that a spring break is long enough to go on missions in Mexico, England, and France.

Another great spy book for middle grade readers. Ben Ripley goes to England and Paris while chasing down a lead that gives his team hope of thwarting SPYDER once and for all.
Themes of friendship and family are explored all while running around through Europe! Great read.
