Bridget Wilder: Spy-in-Training: The Middle School Spy Adventure with Humor and Girl Power for Kids (Ages 8-12) (Bridget Wilder Series, 1)

Middle school meets Mission Impossible in this hilarious spy series for fans of Chris Rylander, Stuart Gibbs, and Ally Carter about a girl whose life is turned upside down when she discovers her father is a superspy. Up until Bridget’s birthday the most exciting moment in her life was when Dale Tookey maybe, sort of, smiled at her one time. But that was before—before she found a mysterious present at her doorstep, before she was transported to a covert CIA agency called Section 23, and before she became Bridget Wilder: Spy-in-Training. Now Bridget’s busting boys out of detention, being chauffeured by a talking car, and infiltrating the popular girls’ clique to steal secret codes, all while undercover as a semi-awkward middle school girl. But will she be able to keep up with her new action-packed life? It is no secret— Bridget Wilder: Spy-in-Training is the start of an explosive new series packed with gadgets, humor, and best of all: girl power. “This fast-paced novel packs a lot into its pages, including realistic school drama, family tensions, cool spy gadgets, and a serious plot twist. The dearth of strong female protagonists in middle grade spy stories gives this book an added leg up. VERDICT A solid choice for libraries where action and adventure novels fly off the shelves” - School Library Journal “An action-packed series opener.” - Kirkus Reviews “An ideal spy romp for tweens on the verge of teens, with a covert invitation to self-reflection tucked into a fast-paced plot.” - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “Readers will surely enjoy this fast-paced escapist story and eagerly await her next adventure.” - Booklist Jonathan Bernstein was never a spy—but then that's what someone who actually was a spy would want you to believe. Here's what we do know: He writes books, magazine articles, and movies. He was born in Scotland and lives in Los Angeles. This is his first middle grade novel. Everything else is classified.
