Publisher Description
A girl discovers her boarding school is actually an elite spy-training program, and she must learn the skills of the trade in order to find her mother in this action-packed middle grade debut that’s perfect for fans of Stu Gibbs.
After a botched escape plan from her boarding school, Abigail is stunned to discover the school is actually a cover for an elite spy ring called The Center, along with being training grounds for future spies. Even more shocking? Abigail’s mother is a top agent for The Center and she has gone MIA, with valuable information that many people would like to have—at any cost. Along with a former nemesis and charming boy from her grade, Abigail goes through a crash course in Spy Training 101, often with hilarious—and sometimes painful—results.
But Abigail realizes she might be a better spy-in-training than she thought—and the answers to her mother’s whereabouts are a lot closer than she thinks…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Abby lives in New York City with her single mother, and with summer winding down, she's looking ahead to seventh grade. Then a surprise letter announcing her acceptance to the Smith School for Children turns Abby's world upside down. After arriving at the school, she learns that it has an undercover element training girls to be spies and its best alumna, code named Teflon, is Abby's own mother, who has gone missing. A lot of people want to find Teflon, including the head of the Smith School, who uses Abby as bait to lure her mother out. When that fails, Abby and her friends search for her mother themselves. In her first book for children, McMullen (the Sally Sin series) delivers a fast-moving, twist-filled addition to the kid spy genre, which builds to a nail-biter of a conclusion. Abby's wry observations and tenacity, combined with glimpses of her vulnerability, make for entertaining reading while establishing a real and relatable character readers will hope to see again. Ages 9 13.
Customer Reviews
A must read!
Fantastic! Definitely suggest this book, it’s amazing. I loved all of the characters, especially Abby! The author really humanizes her, along with all the other characters . Except the villain, of course. What is up with him? 😂😂 Anyway, Mrs. Smith’s Soy School For Girls is filled with action, excitement, feels, and a whole lot humor (mostly on Abby’s part).
Great read
I loved this book so much. I had stumbled upon it and read it in a day. Definitely worth the read I completely recommend it. I also read the second one right after. I really enjoy the characters!
