City Spies
by James Ponti
I love reading all types of books. And I don’t feel ashamed to say that I love children books.
City Spies is a great story about a group of children, all from different backgrounds that come together to fight evil. A touching, lovely, fun and light middle-grade book. Five kids from around the world have been recruited to form a top secret spy team at MI6 (which even most of Mi6 doesn't know about). The story focuses on the most recent recruit, Sara aka Brooklyn, a foster kid from New York with incredible computer and hacking skills. She joins up with Paris, Kat, Rio, and Sydney, who each have their own special talents. Their mission is to infiltrate a global youth environmental summit and stop the next attack from a global criminal organization.
James does an exquisite job of giving us a backstory of each child, and through the story we began to care for these characters and see how their individual backgrounds give them an edge in the spy world. I loved how everything from the past connected to the present. The introduction of each chapter was brilliant. As a third culture kid, I personally liked the different characters from all over the world. James did a great job with their accents. James Ponti’s City Spies #1 is an excellent start to an exciting mystery series that both kids and adults can enjoy.
My rating: 7.5/10
