Bravo! I love how these new authors incorporate African-American history in their stories. We have a rich history that a lot of the younger kids aren't being taught these days.

Concerning the story, I thought it had a very slow start until that plot-twist. That was worth the price admission right there haha.

I was thinking Jada was dealing with grief and just imagining her mother in random places but SIKE! SHE'S ALIVE, BABY! The bittersweetness of mama-Umi realizing her husband, Ben, has moved on was way sadder to me than it will be to most kids. :/ sigh, the life of a spy.

Overall, this will definitely be a fun book for kids, and they might learn something new.

I'm game for another book in this series. :D
