Spy Girls

I just love books with strong female characters. And Cammie Morgan from Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls series is, on the surface, extremely strong. After all, she's a second generation spy who could probably disable a bad guy with an Oreo cookie and some drier lint. She's known as the invisible chamelion because she is good at blending in anywhere and not being noticed. Yet, that invisibility is her way of hiding from the realities of life. And, since she's still in high school -- albeit a spy-girl high school -- she's worried about what being hard to notice means in terms of the relationships she's trying to form. That's what makes her a well-rounded character. That's probably what kept me up until four in the morning reading the second book, Cross My Heart and Hope To Spy, all in one sitting. I highly recommend it and the first book, I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have To Kill You.

I can't wait to get my hands on the third Gallagher Girls book, Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover, which is coming out in June. Ally, if you're out there, I'd love to review an ARC!
