This was a fun and fast read for me. Honestly, I read this one in one sitting. I enjoyed the characters and really at points was cheering for them. I would love to read more by this author.

I loved this fun spy adventure! I think it's a great pick for that awkward in-between middle grade and YA stage, but I think YA readers could definitely love it. I thought the humor was just pitch perfect, and the mystery was very engaging. Plus, the NYC setting was great!

So at work, I read underwhelming reviews about this book. I am SO GLAD that I ignored them and read this anyway. It was so different from what I usually read - a book about a teenage spy. The characters were interesting, but my favorites weren't the lead boy and girl. Instead, I was thrilled whenever I got to read a scene with Roux and her doorman. Those two were my favorites. This book would be a good movie or TV series. I would watch it! I didn't see the twist coming, and that made it all the more fun. I have decided that teenage spies rock. I should probably read Ally Carter's books now, huh? While I work on those books, can Robin Benway work on a sequel, pleaseandthankyou.

Was not able to read this book before it expired. I believe I would have liked it based on the synopsis.

Maggie has traveled the globe with her parents, spies who work for the Collective, an shadowy organization that works hard at making sure that things... go right. Not much more is said. Maggie is a fantastic safe cracker, so has helped out wherever they are, most recently Iceland, but the family gets a new assignment which involves Maggie in a much bigger role than safe cracking. The family moves to Manhattan, and Maggie is enrolled in high school for the first time. Her job? To get to know Jesse Oliver, the son of publishers Armand Oliver, who may be working on an article that will blow the lid off the collective... and also Maggie's life. High school is harder than safe cracking, but with the help of her new friend, Roux, as well as long time family friend and forger Angelo, Maggie manages to survive high school, get Jesse interested in her, and keep her family's cover from being completely blown.

Strengths: Just the thing for readers who are anxiously awaiting the next Gallagher Girls book. Like Annabel Monaghan's A Girl Named Digit, there's a great mix of New York City setting, romance, and spy action and adventure. Such, such fun! Glad to see there will be a sequel to this one, as well as a sequel to Monaghan's book, Double Digit, in the fall of 2013. Spies!!!
Weaknesses: I was a little disappointed in her spying abilities, but I guess she is just a teenager. Of course, the fact that she is a teenager is the real weakness-- I want a book from her mother's perspective. I could be a spy. No one would suspect me!
