Description
Bea lives in a hotel, but not just any hotel, the Pangean Hotel, which is a hotel for spies! Bea wants to become a spy like her mom, but her mom wants her to go to “Normal” school (like normal people). Everything is as normal as it can be for a spy hotel until a family arrives by helicopter. When Bea is tasked with cleaning the room the family stays in, she finds Chantal holding a kitchen knife. They become fast friends, along with Bea’s other friend, Tommy. The kids join forces to solve the agents chasing Chantal’s family and avoid Normal school at all costs!
I like a good espionage story, and Confessions of a Junior Spy by Rosaria Munda is really good. At the back of the book, there’s a map of the Pangean Hotel, and I love a good map too. Bea is interesting. She’s relatable, especially in how kids think that adults make all the important decisions without them. This book has exciting twists and surprising turns, and kids save the day, which is always great. I liked Bea because she knows what she wants and doesn’t let adults convince her otherwise.
