When I read the first book, I fell in love with the idea of a secret spy agency made up of orphaned kids, each with their own unique skill set, so much so that I wanted to read the second book.
This book was entertaining but also very heartfelt, as it continues the story of these young spies and their “Mother”, the head of the group.
While it ties together the new mystery at hand for these young spies, it also ties in sibling-like conflict, and the continuation of Mother’s search for his wife and children.
While the first book was mostly focused on Brooklyn, this second book was mostly told from Sydney’s point of view, focusing on her.
Throughout the book, we get mentions of Mother’s children and wife, also showing the complicated situation that is present between him wanting to be there for his current family, who are the young spies, and wanting to find his biological children.
This book was a really fun read, because we got to see the friendships between the spies grow stronger, especially between Brooklyn and Sydney, who learn to overcome their issues, learn, and communicate. It was a short yet action-packed reading experience.
There were many different plotlines that were touched upon in this book, and some that I hope get to be touched upon in the following books, and some that were clarified from the first book.
The ending was also very sweet and heartfelt, and a satisfactory end to the book, leaving me wanting more.
Age Range
I personally recommend this book for 4th graders and up. Slight mentions of murder, slight violence.
