The Spy Who Raised Me by Ted Anderson
4.0
I don't understand the negative reviews on this. It's a really solid middle grade graphic novel with a compelling premise and great art. Everyone leaving negative reviews seems to have gone into this book for children expecting a life changing emotional arc, and obviously that's not going to happen - and it doesn't need to!
Yes, it's far more action oriented than emotionally full, but it's an engaging middle grade work all the same. I'm far from the age this was intended for but I went in with an open mind and got just what I bargained for - a fun, quick, middle grade story which was well worth the read. If you're buying this for younger children or a school library, I'd definitely recommend.
