(1) 4-6 Brooklyn seventh-grader Georges's family has just moved, his best friend has ditched him, and he's endlessly bullied. So when his new neighbor offers to train him as a spy, Georges figures, why not? Spare and elegant prose, wry humor, deft plotting, and the presentation of complex ideas in an accessible way make this novel much more than just a mystery-with-a-twist.
