Synopsis

A girl discovers her boarding school is actually an elite spy-training program, and she must learn the skills of the trade in order to find her mother in this action-packed middle grade debut.

After a botched escape plan from her boarding school, Abigail is stunned to discover the school is actually a cover for an elite spy ring called The Center, along with being training grounds for future spies. Even more shocking? Abigail's mother is a top agent for The Center and she has gone MIA, with valuable information that many people would like to have—at any cost. Along with a former nemesis and charming boy from her grade, Abigail goes through a crash course in Spy Training 101, often with hilarious—and sometimes painful—results.

But Abigail realizes she might be a better spy-in-training than she thought—and the answers to her mother's whereabouts are a lot closer than she thinks . . .

A spy novel that is fine if you are looking for action. I was a bit confused in the beginning about one scene that isn't explained until the end. The Japanese minor character is a bit of a stereotype with her math skills and liking for tea but she starts to get developed more by the end. The villain......more
