Jane Blond International Spy by Brianna SchattMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
(free copy for honest review)
This is a great story for young teen girls or YA who aren't looking for all the romance. (Wait, what? There are girls out there like that?! Pfffff!)
Jane Blond. Yeah, she's heard all the jokes. Big deal. She's more worried about making the cheerleading team, coping with her mom's boyfriend and sneaking to visit her dad in prison. But maybe there's something to her name when she starts dealing with the FBI regarding some strange things happening around town.
I was impressed when I learned Jane Blond was written by a high schooler. It's a short, fun read with an intriguing plot. It's sophisticated enough to not be predictable.
I love how Schott uses unconventional characters that help Jane solve the case. No super cute, nice, outgoing hunk to help Jane along. Nope, it's mostly a solo operation with a nudge here and there from a friend.
Overall, a wonderful jump up for middle schoolers who want a little more in their mysteries.
