Quick Summary
For anyone who loves a good spy thriller that doesn't take itself too seriously, this third installment in the series delivers non-stop action, quick-fire dialogue, and a lot of laugh-out-loud moments. Kieron and his teammates find themselves tangled in a high-stakes chase after a mysterious explosion forces them to realize someone inside their own agency is out to get them, and the way they use gadgets, quick thinking, and teamwork to stay ahead will keep middle-grade readers on the edge of their seats. It's perfect for kids who enjoy the fast pace of "The 39 Clues" books or the humor-packed gadgetry of "The Secret Series," but it also has enough heart and friendship moments to appeal to readers who like a bit of emotional depth. Parents will appreciate that the scares are mostly exciting rather than graphic there's a car bomb and some tense moments, but nothing too gruesome while the language stays clean and the overall tone stays upbeat. If your kid is a reluctant reader who wants a short, punchy story with lots of action, or a confident reader looking for a fun series to binge, this book hits the mark.
