I started reading this together with my 11 year old daughter. We were enjoying it and then got COVID so I picked it up today and finished it while she got her hair done. It’s a very quick read with lots of twists and turns. I thought it would end with a cliffhanger there were so few pages left to resolve everything. You will see! Some parts were predicable but a lot kept me guessing. I enjoyed The relationships — siblings, friends, mother-daughter. Little to no romance. Placed a hold on the next one in the series the moment I finished!

THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD! I adored all of the characters and would have wanted to go on these adventures with them when I was their age. Or can I just be an adult agent please!? That would be great. Anyways. This book. The writing was wonderful. The characters were absolutely fantastic and I feel fiercely protective of Amari and Elsie! The twists, the reveals, THE ENDING. I just loved it all and cannot form cohesive and critical points. Sorry. Just going to yell at everyone to read some more wholesome adventure middle grade.
