Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy
After the excitement of the fall, all Cammie Morgan wants is peaceful semester at school. But that's easier said than done when you're CIA legacy and go to the premier school in the world... for spies. Despite Cammie's best intentions, trouble crops up quickly.
Cammie, Bex, and Liz learn that the Gallagher Academy is hosting guests from another spy school — a secret spy school for boys. After her fiasco with Josh last fall, Cammie isn't sure she's ready for daily encounters with boy spies especially after she meets Zach — an incorrigible cutie who everyone thinks is just perfect. Cammie is right to be worried about their new guests.
Soon after the boys arrival, she's blamed for a series of security breaches that leave the school's top-secret status at risk. And the perfectly crushable Zach is her prime suspect. The Gallagher Girls will need to use all their skills to investigate the boys from Ethan Frome Academy. Even though they're confident about their guy-spying (as if they haven't done it before), the playing field is level this time, and the stakes are higher than ever.

Cammie Morgan is a student at the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, a fairly typical all-girls school — that is, if every school taught advanced martial arts in PE and the latest in chemical warfare in science, and students received extra credit for breaking CIA codes in computer class...
The Gallagher Academy might claim to be a school for geniuses but it's really a school for spies. Even though Cammie is fluent in fourteen languages and capable of killing a man in seven different ways, she has no idea what to do when she meets an ordinary boy who thinks she's an ordinary girl. Sure, she can tap his phone, hack into his computer, or track him through town with the skill of a real "pavement artist" — but can she maneuver a relationship with someone who can never know the truth about her?
