Reviews

When I first saw the Spy kids movie in the theatre with my daughter, I though it was a great movie for people of all ages.

One Agent Too Many by Elizabeth Lenhard moves the characters created by Robert Rodriguez from the large screen to paperback. The story is fast and fun and can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages, but it probably intended for third to sixth graders. There are plenty of new gadgets in this book peak the readers' interest.

Elizabeth Lenhard does a good job of writing all of the Cortez family, but I did feel that some of the things that happened in the story were just a little too far-fetched.

One Agent Too Many is a fun story and anyone who loved the movies should pick up this book for a cool ride. Man, I want a pair of rocket shoes!

I rated this book a 7½ out of 10.

This was an attempt to motivate Aiden to read more. He told me he doesn't like chapter books and I think it is because he thinks they are too difficult for him. So this worked, since I only got to read parts of this and Aiden read the rest of it! He really liked the book and we are on to the next.

When British Spy kid Maya Sinclair shows up at just the right time to help get a criminal. But Juni is suspicious especially when Maya tags along on a Cortez family mission to stop a deadly satellite madman. Will one agent too many interfere with family and with saving the world?

I loved these books as a kid. I am only missing one book from the series. These really are great adventurous books in my opinion for kids about the age of 10. It is got lots of action, not to mention just about the most coolest spy gear you have ever heard of.
