Maggie Silver has spent her sixteen years cracking safes and solving crimes alongside her international spy parents. She travels the world on dangerous missions but never stays anywhere long enough to make friends or date anyone. The constant moving means she has dodged the nightmare of high school with its cliques, terrible cafeteria food, and pathetically easy locker combinations. Then her parents assign her a solo case in New York. Maggie must enroll at a private school and resist the urge to break into the security system. She needs to get close to Jesse Oliver, an annoyingly attractive student who holds the key to solving her case. The mission forces Maggie to navigate unfamiliar territory. She must maintain her secret identity while dealing with teenage social dynamics for the first time. The assignment becomes more complicated as Maggie finds herself torn between her spy training and the normal teenage experiences she never knew she wanted.
