City Spies, Books 1 & 2- Review

Thank you Netgalley and Aladdin Books for the gifted first book that I read along with the audiobook from the library!

by: James Ponti

narrated by: Lisa Flanagan

rating: favorite

Hello and welcome to a new addition to my favorite middle grade series. This series incorporates a diverse cast of endearing middle grade characters who navigate not only spy craft, but the emotions of real life so well.

Book 1 is a beautiful introduction to this team of child spies and their handlers. You get some big picture information but you also get an up close look at some of the character's motivations. Plus you get to see both action and intelligence play out in the character's spy craft.

In Book 2 you continue to learn about more character backstories, but also get to see the characters and the team as a whole learn and grow. The mystery of the second one was more fun for me because of knowing the backstory of the first. The second one got to add so many more layers to the series plot while also having you along for the ride as they dealt with the mystery particular to this book.
