Everyone thinks the Gallagher Girls Academy for Exceptional Girls is a boarding school for snooty rich girls. They are wrong. Gallagher Girls have a long and distinguished history, one that requires very high security clearance. Gallagher Academy is a boarding school for girls, but the classes they teach are much different; here they learn espionage and spy craft. The Gallagher Girls are training in weapons, covert ops, and languages; all in the hopes of preparing them for lives as spies. Cammmie Morgan is a Gallagher Girl legacy, her mom is the head of the school. Cammie is known as the Chameleon because she can blend in anywhere. So what happens when a boy notices her on a mission. Can Cammie and her friends deal with dating? Not the same way a normal girl would!
I think Ally Carter is a wonderful writer. Her books are extremely entertaining and funny. I loved the thought of these teen girls using a crush to practice their skills. They use everything from surveillance to hacking to going through garbage and more. This book is light-hearted, entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny at times. I would definitely recommend it and plan on reading more of the series.

14 year old me would have loved these books so much. OH MY GOD THEY ARE SPIES AT A SPY SCHOOL! They have covert ops! They spy on the guy she likes! (I would have used all those exclamation points too.). Definitely recommend for the younger crowd. For the 24 year old me? It was brainless fun, and I enjoyed it, but I won't be continuing the series.
Cammie goes to the ultra secret espionage boarding school, also known as the "Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women." As a sophomore she gets her first crush on a townie. She is a genius, but can she decipher boy talk?
This book is pure fun and had me laughing out loud.

I guess the romance is suppose to be part of the appeal, but I don't like how stereotypical it is. Same old teen-flick story. Meet, fall in love, fall behind in other responsibilities, eventually break up, apologize, make up.
I do like that they didn't ever actually get back together, and I like the characters and all of that, but I hate that it eventually becomes a romance story. The school itself is good, and I like the plot and stuff, but I think that it would be better if only there was a bit more action or an actual enemy.
All she was ever freaked out about was a few guys, and a death-scare with her friend's dad.

A fun, light book. It was silly and funny and I loved all the details about the instructors. Laugh out loud funny.

Probably 3-3.5 stars. I liked it and it was a nice break from more serious books. But it's definitely a tween book, so perhaps not for everyone. Still, as silly as some of it was, I enjoyed the story and the adventure. As long as you're not looking for serious writing, it's a fun and quick read. I enjoyed it enough that I will likely check out the rest of the series. I think younger readers would probably enjoy it even more.
