I love discovering a series that has a number of books out already. But the problem? Well, I seem to be devouring them in one day. I tried to slow down my reading of Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy, but I couldn't seem to stop turning pages. For starters, I wanted to know what Cammie's mother was hiding and what was that new construction in the school all about?

Then in a countersurveillance exercise with the always fun-to-read Mr. Solomon, I smiled when a new character was introduced as he walked into an elevator with Cammie during that very exercise (page 71-72):
The elevator seemed to move slower and slower as the clock in my head ticked louder and louder, and I thought about how Mr. Solomon might make us walk back to Roseville if no one achieved our mission objectives.
"You in a hurry or something?" the boy asked.
"Actually, I'm supposed to meet my teacher at the ruby slipper exhibit. I've only got twenty minutes, and if I'm late, he'll kill me." (Not a lie, but maybe an exaggeration--I hoped.)
"How do you know?"
"Because he said, `Meet me at the ruby slipper exhibit.'"
"No." The boy was smiling, shaking his head. "How do you know you only have twenty minutes? You're not wearing a watch."
"My friend just told me." The lie was smooth and easy, and I was a little bit proud of it, happy that I didn't have to think about how in forty-five seconds, this boy had noticed something that Josh hadn't seen in four months.
"You fidget a lot," he said.
Make that two things Josh hadn't even seen.
"I'm sorry," I said, but I wasn't. "I have low blood sugar." Lie number three. "I need to eat something." Which wasn't really a lie, since...well...I was hungry.
And then the stranger boy totally knocked me for a loop, because he handed me a bag of M and Ms. "Here. I ate most of them already."

And in that second, I forgot all about Josh. I'm not going to spoil this for you, Mundie Moms; I will say this - get the series. Get all of them. Trust me when I say, you will love the way Zach (that's the boy in the quote) says the word, "Spy." His snarky attitude and ability to best Cammie made for the best kind of reading. The kind where there's a smile plastered on your face. Just for the record, page 235 contained one of my favorite last lines ever.

If you haven't picked this series up yet, please do. As for me, I'm moving on to the third book, Don't Judge a Girl By Her Cover and yes, I'm still grinning.

Plot Sketch Cammie is at it again. This time, she's got a bigger problem than love on her hands... she's got to pass her CoveOps pop quiz. The Gallagher Girls are headed to Washington DC with a mission. Get to the Ruby Slippers without being tailed by a certain time. Do it. Now. She thinks she's accomplished the mission, but in reality, she's spilled all of her mission details to her tail, a cute boy in a baseball cap who offered to walk with her. This failure introduces you to the mysterious Zach, and offers up an important question to the girls. Could there indeed be a spy school for boys? They get back to the Academy and start doing spy work of their own to find out, and the rest of the story unfolds from there.

Verdict I Heart It! Loved the first installment, I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You even more than I hearted this one. There were some points in this book where I went, "C'mon now girls, I thought you were supposed to be spies. You're JUST NOW figuring this out?" But it's still a great book and it's still a fun read. I'd say it's got a bit of your typical second book awkwardness going on for it wherein the author tries to establish a potential for more stories while staying true to the world they've created in the first installment. I didn't giggle nearly as much as I did in the first one, but like I said before, it's still worth your time.

[...]
I guess we don't learn from our mistakes, Ally Carter! Cheesy titles are NOT your best friend! I guess as long as you continue writing cute, fun books, I will ignore your silly titles and goofy covers. But please strive for "witty" next time, not "campy"!

The Gallagher Girls series continues with more of Cammie Morgan and the other young spies in training. It begins with her CIA brief about her security breaches last semester when she broke all protocols and rules by sneaking out of Gallagher to date a local boy. Now she has been forced to break up with Josh, and he has had his memory wiped with Cammie's mother's special tea. While Cammie still thinks about Josh all the time, she has bigger issues on her plate when Gallagher opens its doors to the boys of Blackthorne. Blackthorne is the male, much more sinister counterpart to Gallagher, and the two schools have merged briefly to give them a chance to get to know people they will be working with once they graduate. But something doesn't add up...

Since the boys arrived, odd things have been happening. First a Code Black occurs during a ball they have in the mansion as one of their finals (they all have aliases they must stick to). No one knows where the outside breach occurred for a Code Black, but Cammie is suspicious of the Blackthorne guy named Zach who she sees in the hallway just as the alarm is thrown. And Zach is definitely hiding something, in between his attempts to drive Cammie crazy! With the Gallagher Girls half stunned by their sudden exposure to boys (mornings get much more hectic with all the makeup and outfit changes!) and half suspicious by the sneaky Blackthornes, this is another fun and intriguing story in the Gallagher mansion!

The story and characters were interesting and kept the brief story alive. As with the first story, there is nothing inappropriate in this story for a young reader, but it might be too immature for an older, low-skilled reader. This is best kept for middle school students. But the world in the Gallagher mansion gets more and more exciting with each book!
