Golden Gate (City Spies)

This is a great middle grade spy book, and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

This book was awesome. The plot was incredible and exciting. Sydney was especially good. I loved the ending. I would definitely recommended this book.

Bought it as a Christmas gift. Recipient loved it.

This book is so awesome!🫠I love this book and this series so much. James Ponti is such a good writer!

This is the second book in a current series of 5. There is constant adventure, but also themes of family and friendship. I loved reading it as an adult and my boys love it as well.

The 2nd installment of City Spies does not disappoint. If anything, the reader grows to love the characters and their inter-relationships even more. Excitement from beginning to end with these young agents along with their adult "supervisors." Starts off with a ship hijacking, which leaves clues and threats for the rest of the novel. Mr. Ponti also weaves in fascinating history and geography throughout the novel. He doesn't go on forever with those details. Concise and entertaining.The 5 spies grow with each episode. They are flawed yet endearing. As are the adults. Can't wait for book 3!And I'm a senior citizen who adores well-written YA or middle reader books. And Mr. Ponti is one of the best writers in that genre. Highly recommended!

My 10 yr old boy LOVED this series and flew through the first 3 books. We are waiting for books 4 & 5 to arrive!
