* Book 5 in the City Spies series *
The City Spies travel to Venice to protect a young environmental activist. It's chaos on the streets on Venice. When Rio saves the target from a bomb in the canals, that's when things go sideways. They determine that the threat isn't going to stop since the girl, who didn't get to speak, is now invited to Washington D.C. to speak.The City Spies follow, but it's hard to plan a mission on the fly. There are too many variables. Of course, everything goes sideways. Can they save Beatriz and themselves?
My Thoughts: I'm such a huge fan of this series. I was happy to be asked if I wanted a review copy. This is one of my favorite middle grade series - it has everything - spies, adventure, danger, travel, friendship, and family. This book has everything I love about the series - plus there's moments in NYPL. I loved how Brooklyn greeted the lions as though they were old friends. The mission focuses on a girl that reminds me of Greta Thunberg. The environmental concern shows a current issue, written in a meaningful way. Also, I love the Peanut, Butter, and Jelly names. I wish I was as clever as these characters. And that ending! I can't even!! I need the next book ASAP.
Cover Thoughts: Love it
