Reviews for Mrs. Smith’s Spy School for Girls:

– Publishers Weekly

“A sassy, new spy series with a spunky heroine, multitalented sidekicks, and tense, rapid-fire adventure.”
– Kirkus

“Middle grade readers of Stuart Gibbs’s Spy School </e,=m>as well as fans of boarding school adventures such as Shannon Hale’s Princess Academy will appreciate this comical and exhilarating escapade.”
– School Library Journal

“An action-filled romp… with gadgets, close calls, thwarted plans, and a villainous criminal spy group.”
