Only the Good Spy Young (Gallagher Girls, 4)

This is by far the best book in the series. I could not put it down. The action packed story raises the stakes as the gang solves every mystery thrown there way only to discover more. The hum-drum patterns established in the last books gets shaken up in this book but in a plausible, facinating way that seemed like an actual plot progression instead of a random idea that came out of left field (the beginning premise of the last book). Though it's taken three books to get here, I'm glad I stuck it out. The layers of the story are falling into place. The characters, even the mysterious ones, have gained depth, and we got to focus on a new group of characters as the main focus of the story, allowing us to get a better grasp of the whole cast. Pushing past the confines of the school and every day school life has made this series completely engaging and exciting. Not to mention, the quality of the writing has improved exponentially. Very pleased and looking forward to the next installment.

I read OGSY when it first came out years ago and it was my favorite book in the series! It was truly an emotional roller coaster for my little 7th grade heart. So many plot twists, and turns..half way through the book I didn't trust anybody! Solomon has always been one of- if not my most- favorite character, and this book certainly answered a lot of questions I had about him.Now after reading the new 10th anniversary book with the new chapter, I have to say that I'm a bit more confused than ever. *Spoilers* Townsend and Zach have met; its during the summer that Cammie ran away and Townsend went to the Baxter's flat. So this brings up the question of why did they act like total strangers in that alley in the 5th book? They beat each other up, then later introduce themselves as if they've never met before... what's that all about?? What was the point of that little act? Anyways, love the series and adore Ally Carter.

It is so fun to watch a series grow up with each and every installment. The Gallagher Girls series has done just that. From a silly tween series to an engaging young adult series with real characters and real problems, Only the Good Spy Young is a wonderful transformation to be a part of!In the third book, Cammie realized it wasn't Macey McHenry the rouge spies were trying to kidnap, it was her. With this realization comes the terrifying reality that her favorite teacher, Joe Solomon, might be part of the organization that is trying to take Cammie. Now that Solomon is on the run, a new Covert Ops teacher is assigned to the Academy, but he seems only concerned with getting into Sublevel Two and what the girls know about Solomon. The most important teacher with the most important class, but he doesn't teach them anything- only presses them for any information they might be hiding. When it comes out that Solomon was somehow involved in her father's disappearance, Cammie is determined to get to the bottom of what Solomon's involvement was in her father's disappearance and her kidnapping attempts. The only way she can really get the information, however, is by learning more about her friend Zach from Blackthorne and with the help of her faithful friends, Bex, Liz, and Macey.This fourth book was much more serious. The girls are now in real danger at the hand of the secret society that is after Cammie. The fact that the rouge spies shot and nearly killed her Aunt Abby at the end of the third book makes this story line all the more serious. And with more serious danger comes a more thrilling story. The nicest part of this series is the fact that the books are short, and won't overwhelm a reluctant reader, but they will grow with the reader, pushing them to more mature stories and reading levels. This story ends with a little bit of a cliffhanger, so I hope Ally Carter pulls another Gallagher Girls story out soon!

"I am prepared for a lot of scary situations. After all, in the last year and a half I'd been fake kidnapped once, almost truly kidnapped twice, targeted by one international terrorist organization and two incredibly cute boys. So, scary? Yeah, scary and I go way back." - Cammie Morgan in Only the Good Spy Young.Cammie Morgan is the daughter of two very talented CIA agents. She started learning trade secrets when she was still in kindergarten. She's been attending the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women since the seventh grade. She's always known she was destined for a career in espionage. So her problem is more one of timing. She didn't expect to be facing the world's most dangerous international terrorists before her seventeenth birthday.After being targeted by the Circle of Cavan in the first semester of her junior year at Gallagher, Cammie Morgan is now in constant danger. She's also the most heavily guarded girl on the planet. So she feels pretty safe spending winter break in London with her roommate Bex and Bex's MI-6 parents. At least she feels safe right up until the Circle makes another attempt to abduct her - an attempt that very nearly succeeds, despite all the guards. And after learning that someone close to her, someone she has trusted, is actually working for the Circle? Suddenly Cammie doesn't feel safe at all.When the school term begins, Cammie has to endure more changes. The one place that has always been a haven for her is suddenly feeling a lot more like a prison. Friends, teachers, fellow students - Cammie is no longer sure who she can trust. As time passes and the danger continues to grow, Cammie becomes certain of just one thing. She can't sit around and wait for others to save her. She needs to figure out what the Circle wants with her and she needs to figure it out right now.As Cammie would say, "Oh. My. Gosh." This series has gotten better with each and every book. Only the Good Spy Young is the fourth Gallagher Girls adventure and it is truly outstanding. The plot will keep you riveted and the twists and turns will keep you guessing until the end. I can't believe I have to wait until 2012 for the next installment.

It is probably my favourite book in the series so far. I had my nose stick in it for ages. I loved it and I thought it had an excellent storyline. when you thought you knew what was coming next a twist jumped out and you started wondering all againDefinitely five stars from me*****

As an older reader I often worry about the YA books that I read, this series has definitely been worth reading.The idea of a spy school is great and the way it began and branches out is continuously explained and makes perfect sense. The over all plot is ongoing through the whole series so far and each book brings a new part to the puzzle.The characters as a whole work great together and I love how Cammie acts her age, makes a refreshing change lol.Can't wait for the next book !!

This is the best book yet in the series and I really recommend it to anyone who enjoyed the others of this series and any other Ally Carter books. One of the reason I enjoyed it the most was because you got answers. This book is full of exciting surprising and gripping moments.

These books keep on getting more and more exciting. I literally never put this book down (well my kindle, but I'll just say book). Every spare moment I had it was in my hands and was drawing me into the story with loads of unpredictable, shocking, and exciting moments. I can't wait to read the next book as none of them have disappointed, and the ending of this book has left me on edge wondering what could possibly happen to Cammie next. The Gallagher girl series definitely have to be my favourite books, and I recommend them to everyone, but especially to teenage girls like myself as they are brilliant to read.
