Publisher Description

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…

Pretty good

I liked it 👍

Fantastic

I read this book for book club and it was phenomenal. The suspense was high and I loved each of the kids personalities but my favorites were Mother and Sydney. The dialogue was fantastic and if they made a movie, (which they shouldn’t but it was THAT good a book) it wouldn’t even be as close to as good that this book

Cloud nine

I didn’t know I could be SO emotional about this book. My favorite characters are Mother, Rio, and Sydney. I LOVE rereading City Spies: City of the Dead because it’s when Mother found Robert. I’m still debating whether at the end when Robert wrote the message to his mom it was an “evil” message or just him telling his mom what’s up. I was on cloud nine when I found out that there would be a new book coming out! Please can we move the date from next February to this December? Thanks to my local library for letting me borrow their books!
- A VERY happy reader
