    About this audiobook

    In this second installment in the New York Times bestselling series from Edgar Award winner James Ponti, the young group of spies returns for another international adventure perfect for fans of Spy School and Mrs. Smith’s Spy School for Girls.

    After thwarting a notorious villain at an eco-summit in Paris, the City Spies are gearing up for their next mission. Operating out of a base in Scotland, this secret team of young agents working for the British Secret Intelligence Service’s MI6 division have honed their unique skills, such as sleight of hand, breaking and entering, observation, and explosives. All of these allow them to go places in the world of espionage where adults can’t.

    Fourteen-year-old Sydney is a surfer and a rebel from Bondi Beach, Australia. She’s also a field ops specialist for the City Spies. Sydney is excited to learn that she’ll be going undercover on the marine research vessel the Sylvia Earle. But things don’t go exactly as planned, and while Sydney does find herself in the spotlight, it’s not in the way she was hoping.

    Meanwhile, there’s been some new intel regarding a potential mole within the organization, offering the spies a lead that takes them to San Francisco, California. But as they investigate a spy who died at the Botanical Gardens, they discover that they are also being investigated. And soon, they’re caught up in an exciting adventure filled with rogue missions and double agents!

    This mission is hot! The City Spies are a go!

      It was an amazing book filled with action and tricks! It involves a few glances at previous book 1. Ready to say hello to the City spies again? Here's the place.

      It was amazing. All of the action, hype, and relatable events makes it feel so real that I'm constantly daydreaming about being a spy.
    • 5/5
      Possibly even better than the first book! Lots of twist and turns, and the City Spy kids get to shine with their spy skills in finding a would-be kidnapper, Mother's missing kids, and closing in on a double agent. The narrator did an amazing job with all the different voices and accents!
    • 5/5
      I LOVED this book so amazing and good quality writing! would definitely recommend!
    • 4/5
      Ponti creates an adventurous plot with creative characters. I found it a bit jarring at first that his point of view puts the reader inside everyone’s head at various times, rather than writing the story through only one or two viewpoint characters. Once I got past this, I was able to immerse myself in the adventure and enjoy the ride.
    • 5/5
      This is one of best books that I have ever read(this series). I would really suggest reading it if you like spy books/ suspense/thriller books.

    • 5/5
      James Ponti can write books that keep kids engaged and longing for the next book! I am a Highschooler and greatly enjoy these books! They are written well, and the action is well described. I love the adoption and lack of wokeness!
