Part of Gallagher Girls, book 1
First published 2006
Cammie Morgan attends Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, where PE means advanced martial arts and science class covers chemical warfare. Students earn extra credit by cracking CIA codes in computer lab. The academy calls itself a school for geniuses, but it really trains spies. Cammie speaks fourteen languages and knows seven ways to kill a person. Then she meets an ordinary boy who believes she's just another normal girl. She can tap his phone, hack his computer, and follow him through town like a professional surveillance expert. But navigating an actual relationship with someone who can never learn her real identity proves far more challenging than any covert operation. During her sophomore year, this elite spy in training faces her most dangerous mission yet: falling in love while keeping her true self completely secret.
