The fact that Mission Manhattan is five books deep into the City Spies series won't stop new readers from being able to jump right in。 Our heroes are the young members of a secret branch of MI6: highly talented teens， trained to take on spy missions where an adult presence。 They're also a family， led both parentally and professionally by their mutually adoptive father （nicknamed "Mother"）。 And， just as the City Spies themselves are from （and codenamed after） locations around the world， their lat The fact that Mission Manhattan is five books deep into the City Spies series won't stop new readers from being able to jump right in。 Our heroes are the young members of a secret branch of MI6: highly talented teens， trained to take on spy missions where an adult presence。 They're also a family， led both parentally and professionally by their mutually adoptive father （nicknamed "Mother"）。 And， just as the City Spies themselves are from （and codenamed after） locations around the world， their latest mission takes them all around the globe。What starts as an undercover mission at a youth environmental rally turns into an investigation into a potential murder plot。 As young spy Rio takes the lead， the team travels to Manhattan to find out who's truly behind the attempted killing。 But there's trouble within the City Spies as a difficult family tie could compromise the mission。I'm a big believer that a book being accessible to younger readers doesn't mean it's dumbed down。 This entry in the City Spies series definitely fits that bill。 Alongside being a good fit for middle readers， it's an excellent first step into the genre。 Young readers learn the basis of spycraft， and thus spy fiction， alongside the City Spies。 Plus， with its unflinching view of the ups and downs of family， it's an excellent choice for families to read together。 。。。more

This is a great middle school book read。 It is a story about kids who are spies， real life spies。 I love the idea of that as a story。 I have not read the previous books in the series， but I was not lost as I read this book and could read it as a standalone。 The kids are in Venice Italy this time on a mission at the start of the book。 They just got a message and are now working on figuring out what it meant。 The kids are there to protect a young teenager who is speaking at an event。 In this book This is a great middle school book read。 It is a story about kids who are spies， real life spies。 I love the idea of that as a story。 I have not read the previous books in the series， but I was not lost as I read this book and could read it as a standalone。 The kids are in Venice Italy this time on a mission at the start of the book。 They just got a message and are now working on figuring out what it meant。 The kids are there to protect a young teenager who is speaking at an event。 In this book we have several characters :Brooklyn， Paris， Cairo， Sydney， and Kat who are also spies and work together as a team to find out who is trying to harm the young teenager Beatriz。 The writing of this book was great。 The author wrote an engaging story for middle schooler aged children about spies and also I loved where Rio gets in trouble with C and he punishes him。 It definitely fits the character and the story😊And I love that ending， I can not wait to see where the story and kids go to next and what happens with Clementine！I highly recommend this read to middle school aged children and give it a 5 star rating！ 。。。more
