The Spy Who Raised Me by Ted Anderson

4.0

It’s these kind of stories that make me love graphic novels/ comics.

Our story starts with Josie, J.B, a seemingly regular teenager who is struggling through her teenaged life, all until she uncovers that she’s a sleeper agent and her Mum is a part of a huge plot to promote a sofa companies sales and influence political decisions, commit espionage, bank heists and bring down the CIA.

The story was hilarious and both J.B and J.B’s best friend, Zoe, are so relatable. Their reactions and comments are how any sane person would respond to the events and steps throughout the book. I love authors who keep their characters realistic.

The use of a mainly red colour scheme was a super interesting concept. The tones variation really made certain scenes seem so intense and action packed, while others light- hearted. I think Gianna Meola (illustrator) did a fantastic job in this comic.

Thank you to NetGalley and Ted Anderson for giving me the opportunity to review the ARC of The Spy Who Raised Me in the exchange for my honest review.
