Hale may have found the courage to escape from the Sub Rosa Society, the spy organization he was born into, with his sister and best friend but now he must try and reconcile who he is with who they groomed him to be.
The exciting sequel to The Double-Cross (and Other Skills I learned as a Super Spy) Jackson Pearce delivers again with The Inside Job (and Other Skills I Learned as a Super Spy). In it the reader reconnects with some familiar characters: Kennedy, Walter and Agent Otter, as well as some new allies that round out Hale’s band of spies as they try and re-establish The League and take down SRS for good. Pearce’s wacky blend of character development and espionage antics blend into wonderfully engaging story. Part Spy Kids, part Burn Notice, and 100% fresh, the reader is left feeling not only entertained but stangley educated after the final period dots the page.
