Robin Benway - Also Known As (2013)

Maggie Silver is a brilliant safe-cracker and teenage spy. Spending her childhood roaming the world with her spy parents, solving world crises, trying not to get kidnapped and keeping her life 'beige' is all she has ever known.

Until New York.

The spy ring Maggie's parents work for suddenly thrusts her on a solo mission at an expensive private school with the lives of every spy in the organisation at stake. No pressure, right?

Benway writes a fun novel. I really liked the characters and the plot progression. The ending of the mission seemed a bit sudden, but it was really more a backdrop for Maggie's introduction to high school and a normal teenage lifestyle. Any girl who has ever wanted to be a spy will love this book... I did.
