Off the Bookshelf: CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO SPY, by Ally Carter

Audiobook
Narrated by Renee Raudman

Guilty pleasure time!
I love the Gallagher Girls books, and I'm especially glad that the same narrator keeps voicing the many characters in the private school for girls-who-will-grow-up-to-be-spies.

Another school term for Cammie Morgan and her roommates, Liz, Becks and Macy. A field trip for Covert Ops class turns into humiliation leading to a mystery that takes up the rest of the school year. It turns out that the gossip columnist classmate is right -- there IS a school for boys-who-will-grow-up-to-be-spies. And like  the 4th Harry Potter book, some reps of the school come to visit the Gallagher Academy.

Cammie has her hands full trying to figure out if Zach is friend or foe, or just trying to drive her crazy. Why has he targeted her, out of all the girls in the school? When she and her roommates apply their lessons to stake out the boys' living quarters and figure out what's going on, things don't quite go as they had hoped. Plus she keeps running into her ex-boyfriend in town, and Zach's presence just makes things more complicated.

Fun, but way too short. Another instance of finding excuses to be walking or in the car, so I can keep listening.
