Spy Girls #1: License to Thrill
by Elizabeth Cage
This was one of the books I saved from my pre-teen-hood. I absolutely loved the glamorous girls on the cover, and the idea of three sixteen-year-olds working undercover to save the USA was fascinating to me.
License to Thrill is the first of the Spy Girls series, and it is a fun, easy read that can be enjoyed in an airplane or on the treadmill. Three beautiful, sassy, incredibly intelligent teenage girls travel to London on a super-secret mission. If you’re a teen or pre-teen, the adventures will be suspenseful, and the little love interests will seem extremely important. For older readers, I wouldn’t really recommend this one; when I returned to this childhood favorite, it had lost most of its luster.
As a side note, this book was published in 1998, and the amount of ‘90s references are off-the-charts. If you grew up in the ‘90s, the blasts of pop culture will amuse you to no end.
