Do you need a little danger and adventure in your life? Pick up Jackson Pearce's new book, "The Double Cross." You will especially like this book if you appreciated Stuart Gibbs' "Spy School."
How cool would it be to grow up in a secret spy compound? You'd get to attend spy school with the other kids and learn how to put on disguises, evade detection, and lie well enough to get away with it. Only it's not so great for Hale. While his formerly geeky best friend Walter managed to hit puberty and grow muscles, Hale was left behind to always come in last during physical tests and become the brunt of everyone's jokes. Despairing of ever making it to Junior Agent, everything changes when Hale's parents, super-spies, disappear. In an effort to discover their whereabouts, Hale stumbles upon some pretty big and evil secrets that SRS, the spy agency, is keeping from everyone. Does Hale have the skills necessary to save his parents and his little sister, Kennedy? This book is appropriate for grades four to six.
