About three miles outside South Holland, lies Creswell-Barnes Academy, a fairly normal boarding school—normal, that is, if every boarding school teaches advanced martial arts in PE and offers extra credit for breaking CIA codes in computer class.
Creswell-Barnes Academy may claim to be a school for exceptional young men and women, but it's really a school for spies.
Although 16 year old Charlotte Tomlinson, sophomore, is fluent in eighteen languages and is capable of killing a man seven different ways with a number two pencil, she has no idea what to do when she comes across the new, handsome, devishly charming kid at school. Sure, she could hack into his computer, follow him through the whole school without him even noticing, or do it the old-fashioned way, by asking her older brother (Louis, who is by far the most popular boy in school) what the new boy thinks of her.
Add three scheming best friends, a suspicious (and totally hot) teacher, and a regular boy from town, and what do you have?
A total mess.
Katelyn Hathaway, senior at Grace Marshall's Academy for Prestigious Young Girls, had everything coming together for her which is easier said than done considering her one dream was to become a spy and save the world one mission at a time.
Grace Marshall's Academy wasn't really the competitive academic school the world believed it to be. Sure it was competitive but the girls at the school competed in hand to hand combat and did their studies in twenty different languages. Electives consisted of helicopter flying and every freshman was required to take a gun class as well as computer hacking 101.
So what goes wrong? On a school drill, Katelyn and her two best friends Sammy and Jane run into three mysterious boys. At first they were curious about how the boys also knew Greek and Judo but when an entire swarm of male spies show up at their Girl's Academy, things start getting messy.
Katelyn would have never imagined the boys' ringleader and popular role model, Derek Livingston, to keep appearing in her life. Already scarred by the death of her dad and the withdrawal of her mom, she doesn't believe in romance but then again what's that feeling she gets when Derek smiles at her? Will he be her strongest support or her biggest stumbling block?
