    About this audiobook

    A New York Times bestseller!
    A GMA3 Summer Reading Squad Selection!
    “Ingeniously plotted, and a grin-inducing delight.” —People
    “Will keep young readers glued to the page…So when do I get the sequel?” —Beth McMullen, author of Mrs. Smith’s Spy School for Girls

    In this thrilling new series that Stuart Gibbs called “a must-read,” Edgar Award winner James Ponti brings together five kids from all over the world and transforms them into real-life spies—perfect for fans of Spy School and Mrs. Smith’s Spy School for Girls.

    Sara Martinez is a hacker. She recently broke into the New York City foster care system to expose her foster parents as cheats and lawbreakers. However, instead of being hailed as a hero, Sara finds herself facing years in a juvenile detention facility and banned from using computers for the same stretch of time. Enter Mother, a British spy who not only gets Sara released from jail but also offers her a chance to make a home for herself within a secret MI6 agency.

    Operating out of a base in Scotland, the City Spies are five kids from various parts of the world. When they’re not attending the local boarding school, they’re honing their unique skills, such as sleight of hand, breaking and entering, observation, and explosives. All of these allow them to go places in the world of espionage where adults can’t.

    Before she knows what she’s doing, Sara is heading to Paris for an international youth summit, hacking into a rival school’s computer to prevent them from winning a million euros, dangling thirty feet off the side of a building, and trying to stop a villain…all while navigating the complex dynamics of her new team.

    No one said saving the world was easy…

      I’ve read “Framed” and “Vanished” by Ponti, and they were both very good, so I decided to try this book. It was not quite as good as “Framed”, but then again, I really don’t know of any book better than “Framed”! It was much better than “Vanished”, though. All in all, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves a good spy story!

    • 5/5
      holy COW, this book was amazing! I love Stuart Gibbs and this was just my kind of book.
    • 3/5
      The fact that the much younger kid, who is a rookie spy, but somehow a far superior spy to the other kids who have years of training and experience almost made me wanna stop listening.
    • 5/5
      I liked it because it was so exciting and strong in a way. But funny and interesting at the same time. I just think it was a great book.

      Must read this book , made me laugh but was also super superb
    • 5/5
      I am a Highschooler and LOVE these books! James Ponti knows how to write engaging stories that keep everybody excited. I will always love these books! These books need more publicity! They are absolutely amazing!
    • 5/5
      WHY I GIVE THIS BOOK FIVE STARS AND WHY MOTHER’S NAME BOTHERED ME. None of the following is spoiler alerts.

      In my mind, this book is about trusting yourself and helping others.

      I also felt like I knew the characters so well!! It is like James Ponti made them have natural super powers!

      This book is definitely on my Read Again List! James Ponti did such a wonderful job; it was a page turner until the very end—I finished it in just a few hours!!!

      The only thing that I did not like was Mother’s—Mother is the leader of the spies—name; I just don’t think it was needed. I mean, they could have called him Father at least…

      YOU SHOULD TOTALLY READ THIS BOOK!!!! SO AWSOME!
