Thirteen-year-old Bridget jets cross-country to New York City to rescue her biological father, a retired CIA agent who's been kidnapped. Surprises (including the appearance of another family member) and nonstop action (at times credibility-straining but nonetheless diverting) keep the teenage spy plenty busy in this, her second outing. Characterization is minimal, but the corny one-liners and high-tech gadgets are entertaining.

Just days after her adoptive family forgets her thirteenth birthday, Bridget Wilder gets life-changing news: her biological father heads a top-secret CIA branch, and she will be its newest recruit. As the story picks up steam, Bridget juggles--with mixed results--spy missions, family dynamics, and middle-school life. Character development gets less attention than the action sequences and nifty spy gear.
