Bea has heard from her best friend Chantal that there may be a spy problem at Chantal’s new private school, so Bea jumps to the rescue, with Tommy playing back-up. Bea is determined to save Chantal from a possible Arctic assassin plot, even if it means she may have to do homework.
I was surprised that I did not like #2 as much as I enjoyed #1. I know why, though. 1 - I don’t spy novels that set-up one person, or group, as “the enemy”; I want variety in my villains. 2 - a mean girl problem at a local middle school is frankly boring if you are determined to become an international spy.
