Mrs. Smith's Spy School for Girls is a thrilling tale where a girl discovers her boarding school is actually an elite spy-training programme. She must swiftly learn the skills of the trade to locate her mother in this action-packed middle-grade debut that’s perfect for fans of Stu Gibbs.

After a botched escape plan from her boarding school, Abigail is stunned to discover the school is actually a cover for an elite spy ring called The Center, which also serves as training grounds for future spies. Even more shocking? Abigail’s mother is a top agent for The Center and has gone MIA, carrying valuable information that many would go to great lengths to possess.

Along with a former nemesis and a charming boy from her grade, Abigail undergoes a crash course in Spy Training 101, often with hilarious—and sometimes painful—results.

Abigail soon realises she might be a better spy-in-training than she thought, and the answers to her mother’s whereabouts are much closer than she imagined…
