lillanaa 's review for:
City Spies
by James Ponti
This book was received as an ARC in exchanged for an honest review.
This one was so, so, so good. Combining the best parts of my favourite movies growing up; a little bit of the Oceans movies, along with Cody Banks and Spy Kids, I just couldn't put it down! Brooklyn is one of my new fave protagonists, and I want to see so much more of this team. They work well together, in an odd sort of way; you can tell there's more here than just people working together, there's a family deep down underneath it all. And believe me, I'm an absolute nerd for found family stories, especially in kids media.
The story was challenging in a good way. It could've been another one of those generic "save the world from the bad guys" kind of things, but it felt like it fit more to the fact that these are, despite all else, kids. They're not going for life or death here, the stakes were high but the actual implementation made sense considering the age of the characters.
All in all, a great book. I want more from this world and these characters, I hope there's a sequel and if there isn't I at least hope we get more content in general.
