City Spies is a great series! This 2nd installment was a lot of fun with adventure and solving a mystery!

We continue to adore this series. The Little is always so forlorn at night when we can’t “just read one more chapter”! There is some interpersonal drama and big feelings in this one that is handled really well and of course the mystery is twisty and hard to predict the ending.

Once again I'm surprised by how much I liked this book, if I read it as a kid it would probably be one of my all-time favourites. I really enjoyed how we got to explore a bit more of the background of each of the characters and the ending was just so cute! The book does a great job at dealing with some complex topics as well as presenting things like insecurities or jealousy as something normal that everyone experiences and shows how to deal with it in a healthy way. Another aspect I like is the changing narration and how James Ponti is able to write in the POV of a character others are searching for without revealing who they are.
