Description
Ten-year-old Jada Sly is an artist and a spy-in-training. When she isn't studying art from her idols like Jackie Ormes, the first known African-American cartoonist, she's chronicling her spy training and other observations in her art journal.
Back home in New York City after living in France for five years, Jada's ready to embark on her first and greatest spy adventure yet. She plans to scour New York City in search of her mother. Her mum must have been a spy too and is hiding from bad guys in New York City. Jada can feel it in her bones.
With the stakes high and danger lurking around every corner, Jada will use one spy technique after another to unlock the mystery of her mother's disappearance—some with hilarious results. After all, she's still learning.
Jada Sly, Artist & Spy is an exciting tale full of adventure, mystery, and humour, perfect for young readers who believe anything is possible.
