Despite Cammie's best intentions to be a normal student, danger seems to follow her. She and her friends learn that their school is going to play host to some mysterious guests-code name: Blackthorne.

Even though they have confidence in their spy skills, this time the targets are tougher (and hotter), and the stakes for Cammie's heart-and her beloved school-are higher than ever.

📖 Summary

Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy by Ally Carter is the thrilling second installment in the beloved New York Times bestselling Gallagher Girls series, published in 2009. Spanning 238 pages of young adult fiction, the novel continues the adventures of Cammie Morgan, a student at the premier academy in the world for young women training to become CIA operatives. After the high-stakes drama and excitement of the previous semester, Cammie is hoping for a much more peaceful and ordinary term at school. However, maintaining a low profile is exceptionally difficult when your mother is the headmistress, you are a legacy student with a genius-level intellect, and your life is constantly complicated by high-stakes espionage training. As the new semester begins, Cammie finds herself wrestling with several lingering questions and emotional dilemmas. She must figure out just how much trouble she is really in following the dangerous events of the fall. At the same time, she is trying to navigate her complicated feelings and unpredictable relationship with Josh, an ordinary boy who knows nothing about her secret spy life. Furthermore, Cammie cannot shake her growing suspicion that her mother is acting strangely, hiding secrets that may affect not just their family, but the entire school. Despite Cammie's best intentions to focus on being a normal teenager, danger has a way of following her wherever she goes. Alongside her loyal group of brilliant friends, Cammie soon discovers that the Gallagher Academy is preparing to host a mysterious event and a group of visitors that will test their espionage skills to the absolute limit. As double crosses, covert missions, and tests of friendship unfold, the girls must rely on their rigorous training, sharp wits, and deep bonds to navigate the treacherous waters of the intelligence world while trying to survive the universally terrifying trials of first love and adolescence. This expanded edition also treats readers to a bonus epilogue, providing an even richer conclusion to Cammie's sophomore adventures.
