About the book
In this second installment in the New York Times bestselling series from Edgar Award winner James Ponti, the young group of spies returns for another international adventure perfect for fans of Spy School and Mrs. Smith’s Spy School for Girls.
Following their success in stopping a famous criminal at an environmental summit in Paris, the City Spies are now preparing for their upcoming task. Based in Scotland, this group of young agents working for MI6, the British Secret Intelligence Service's division, have honed their special skills like sleight of hand, breaking and entering, observation, and handling explosives. These abilities enable them to access areas in the world of espionage that adults cannot reach.
One of the members, fourteen-year-old Sydney, is a rebellious surfer from Bondi Beach, Australia, who serves as a field ops specialist for the City Spies. Sydney is thrilled to hear that she will be going undercover on the Sylvia Earle, a marine research vessel. However, things do not go according to plan, and although Sydney finds herself in the limelight, it is not in the way she expected.
Meanwhile, new information suggests the presence of a potential traitor within the organization, leading the spies to San Francisco, California. While investigating a deceased spy at the Botanical Gardens, they realize that they, too, are under scrutiny. Soon, they become entangled in an exhilarating adventure involving rogue missions and double agents!
This mission is heating up! The City Spies are ready to go!
