Book Review

So I don’t have anything to read right now so I thought I should do a book review. I wanted to do my book review on a series called the Gallagher Girl books. This series contains six books. The storyline is about how Cammie Morgan and her friends go to a secret spy school for girls. Cammie and her best friends, Bex, Liz, and Macey, uncover secrets about the school and the people after them. This is a great series that has a lot of mystery and action in it so you won’t be able to put the book down.

                One of my favorite things about this series is the authors writing style. The author, Ally Carter, has such a unique way to write. She uses a lot of syntax because it helps you understand what the character is thinking. And for a mystery like this, you will need to know what Cammie is thinking. Carter writes as if she is writing a diary but at the same time she is trying to explain something to you. There is a lot of dialogue because the characters have a lot to discuss. But there is also a lot of description and Cammie thinking in her head. I think Carter does a great job of getting inside the characters’ head because that helps you understand the novel better.

                The plot is also fast-pace and intense.  Cammie and her friends have to use every spy skill they learn in school to find out the answers. They try to get inside secret spy circles. They have to watch out for double agents and traitor. They have to try not to get killed. They have to act like high school girls even though they can kill you 17 different ways with a paper clip. This series is a real page turner because you want to uncover all the secrets and find all the clues. It also teaches pretty great spy skills.
