A delightful action-comedy that pairs the fun of campy 60s spy media with the heartful emotions of the found family trope. This volume serves to set up the larger story and introduces the cast and plot wonderfully.

I checked this out after watching the recent movie on a whim while at the theater and finding the premise interesting. This is definitely a strong start for a series with a unique set up, well defined main characters, and a world that is slowly being built as the story continues to keep readers intrigued and wanting more. Speaking of which, I can't wait to check out the next volume!

This book was like a breeze of freshness. With its funny, simple and captivating plot following the struggles of the bizarre Forger family, this book is an absolute page-turner. The characters are extremely entertaining and so are their interactions. Its a really quick read that gets you wishing to read more and more (and it's also a great book to get off of a bad reading slump). Would totally recommend!!!
