I really enjoyed this spy thriller. It was quick and easy to read, and the plot moved along steadily. I think kids will gobble this one up.

Two caveats: the kids in this story do not act like they are thirteen. When I remembered that, I was thrown out of the story. Also, there are a fair number of exclamation points. I love exclamation points. I use them often. When I start noticing them in a published book, I tend to get a little irritated.
