“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…

The storyline is full of twist and turns.

Great book, captivating for kids and adults alike. Also full of educational and historical facts.

Exciting.

My 11 yo and I (mom) enjoyed this book. We’ll be listening to the rest of the series. We love spy/detective/mystery stories and this one fit perfectly to our taste. The narrator is skilled and James Ponti writes intriguing books for those interested.

That the narrator was able to sound out. Their voices so well.

Everything overall was amazing and I couldn’t complain about anything and it is just an amazing book

great

beginning is ok but everything else is great. Most books you listen to once but I've listen to the City Spy like 5 times.

This book was amazing and I couldn’t stop listening to it!

I finished this book in two days because it was so amazing. It kept surprising me with things that I would never except. I am very exited to read the next book.

Good book

Good book I liked all the characters and how they are from different places of the world I just thought it was confusing how the main character was named Sara at the beginning then Brooklyn and the end of the book that was just hard to understand. Other than that, good book. Plz subscribe to the YouTube channel Ben & Mase
