Spy Adventure Books

Do you love to read about spies, secret agents, and danger?

Then try some of these titles!

Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover - by Ally Carter. Cammie Morgan arrives in Boston, where Macey's father is about to receive the vice presidential nomination. The girls soon find themselves trapped in a kidnapping plot, in the third installment of the Gallagher Girls series.

Dear Ellen Bee - by Mary Lyons. "...I've put all the papers in order by date, so you'll have a story. Not just an ordinary tale about the Civil War which freed our people from slavery. Most folks think rifles and cannons put down the Southern rebellion. No, this scrapbook tells of Ellen Bee, two spies who won the war with softer weapons..."

Crocodile Tears - by Anthony Horowitz. A charity broker/con artist raises millions of dollars in donations and invests them in a form of genetically modified corn that has the power to release an airborne strain of a virus so powerful it can knock out an entire country on one windy day. The antidote? Alex Rider.

Spy Goddess Vol 1: Chase for the Chalice by Michael Spradin. Spy Goddess Rachel Buchanan is kicking butt, manga-style. Blackthorn Academy is sending her and her friends on their next mission-to Japan. But can Rachel handle her spy assignments: 1) taking down Blankenship's band of ninja assassins and 2) surviving as a brassy, sassy American girl in the middle of Tokyo? And is that "tension" between Rachel and Alex something Pilar should start worrying about? Heck, is it something Rachel should start worrying about? Better make time for assignment 3) repeating the phrase: "I do not have a crush on my best friend's boyfriend!" Don't miss the Rising Sun, Tokyo fun, and Rachel-kun . . . all in Spy Goddess manga!

Dangerous Times (Nathan Fox #1) by L. Brittney. Fourteen-year-old Nathan Fox is an actor in the same company as a young Will Shakespeare. But nothing can prepare him for the world he's about to enter at the request of England's spymaster general.

Chains by Laurie Halse Anderson. Isabel and her sister Ruth were promised freedom. But when that promise is broken, she finds herself caught up in a struggle between those seeking freedom from British rule, and those whose allegiance lies with the English. Isabel learns that the freedom she is spying to preserve does not apply to her kind, and must make her own decisions who and what to struggle for. A really really great read!

The Lab by Jack Heath. This fantastic new adventure series introduces 16-year-old superhuman Six of Hearts, the strongest and most effective agent in The Deck, a team of special agents fighting to uphold justice in a completely corrupt world.
