The Secret

In Which I Review... Also Known As by Robin Benway





Being a 16-year-old safecracker and active-duty daughter of international spies has its moments, good andbad. Pros: Seeing the world one crime-solving adventure at a time. Having parents with super cool jobs. Cons: Never staying in one place long enough to have friends or a boyfriend. But for Maggie Silver, the biggest perk of all has been avoiding high school and the accompanying cliques, bad lunches, and frustratingly simple locker combinations.
Then Maggie and her parents are sent to New York for her first solo assignment, and all of that changes. She'll need to attend a private school, avoid the temptation to hack the school's security system, and befriend one aggravatingly cute Jesse Oliver to gain the essential information she needs to crack the case . . . all while trying not to blow her cover.
Hardcover, 320 pages
Published February 26th 2013 by Bloomsbury Juvenile US

My Review:

Also Known As was a delightful YA reads, packed with witty dialogue and sneakery. No, that is not a word but it should be. I love a good YA spy novel and this one is a jewel amongst the bunch. Reminiscent of books like Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls series, Also Known As packs a vibrant main character, the safecracking spy, Maggie into an unknown territory- high school.
Watching her navigate through school and befriend the genuinely sweet Jessie is a fun journey. The main characters and the immediate secondary characters are all fun, unique characters with whom the reader will be sure to fall in love with.
I think my favorite thing about this book was that it was classically YA. It reminded me of the YA I grew up loving and because of that it is a title I will remember.
I give this a high 4 stars and I would definitely recommend it to YA lovers of all ages.

In Which I Review... Taste Test by Kelly Fiore

Imaginary Girls

Imaginary Girls by Nova Ren Suma (NY: Dutton Books, 2011). Chloe's life has always revolved around her older sister Ruby. Ruby and Chloe have managed on their own for years, their drunken mother living in the town but not part of their lives. Ruby has a car and a job at a convenience store. And she's got something more--Ruby has some kind of mesmerizing effect on everyone in her orbit. They bend to her will and Ruby gets whatever she wants, whenever she wants, however she wants. Then one night she convinces everyone that Chloe can swim across the reservoir, and even Chloe believes her. But something happens, and Chloe finds a girl dead in a boat in the reservoir. Questions are asked and Chloe ends up in Pennsylvania for two years living with her father, away from Ruby from whom she hears nothing the entire time.

Paranormalcy

Paranormalcy by Kiersten White (NY: HarperTeen, 2010). Like many sixteen-year-old girls, Evie likes the color pink, shopping for clothes, and teen television drama. But unlike most teenagers, Evie has to spend a lot of her time capturing paranormal creatures for the International Paranormal Containment Agency (IPCA) because she has the unique ability to see beneath the glamours paranormals use to deceive humans. She's lived at the agency's headquarters since she was found abandoned on the streets at age 4, and she's fashioned a sort of home for herself with a best friend (who happens to be a mermaid) and a mother-like figure (the head of the agency, Raquel), plus assorted paranormal creatures. Upon returning from a routine bag-and-tag, Evie goes to debrief with Raquel, the head of the agency, but immediately notices that she's not talking to Raquel but some guy glittering beneath the surface. She tases the guy and he gets carted off to a containment cell, but she...
