Sophomore Cammie Morgan is a second generation Gallagher Academy girl.
In fact, her mother is the headmistress, which fortunately doesn't cramp her
style. Or not much. Gallagher Academy is an all girls-school that's unlike all
others. Its curriculum offers classes in chemical warfare, advanced martial
arts, code breaking, and other super espionage subjects designed to prepare the
next generation of spies. Cammie
is an exceptional student, having mastered all sorts of spy tricks and 14
languages. She's prepared for every challenge imaginable, that is, except
for
boys. She meets a town boy, Josh. Suddenly she's like a fish out of water. She
can't let him know who she really is. It'd be easier if she just quit the
relationship before it developed. But there's something about him that is
irresistible and she finds herself using her covert skills to sneak meetings
with him. This is all complicated by something strange going on at the Academy.
This is a fun read. Cammie, who seems to have it all together, suddenly
is thrown off track by her infatuation with Josh. Her budding relationship with
him and the resulting insecurities that surface, transform super-girl Cammie
into a normal girl. It's a ice mix
of romance, spy intrigue and mystery.
