Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground.

Veronica is nothing if not intrepid, and she flees London in the company of the unkempt and misanthropic Stoker.

Early in that book, she leaves a family funeral only to encounter a housebreaker and would-be abductor.

Maybe I should start reading more spy books?! There's that non-fiction one right now by Amarylis Fox hmmm.ĪNYWAY. ![]() Plus, I do surprisingly like a lot of spy stories - Alias, Harriet, Homeland (problematic guilty pleasure?), American Spy, D.E.B.S., Code Named Verity, etc. I wanted a book I could suggest to boys (and mothers of boys who obviously have internalized misogyny) that had a girl protag. I am quite surprised by how much I liked this! A middle grade spy thriller? Very off-brand for me. ![]() |
