Publisher's Summary

In this Audible Original prequel to Ally Carter's New York Times best-selling Gallagher Girls series, narrator Rebecca Soler brings her charm, enthusiasm, and impeccable accent work to the world of teen spies and boarding school drama, making for a perfect introduction to the series—or a new favorite for long-time listeners.

The first day at a new school is tough for any kid, but it's especially scary when you're going to a school for spies. Cammie Morgan has spent her whole life dreaming of becoming a Gallagher Girl, but she has no idea what she’ll face when she arrives at The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. Secret passages? Check. Lab experiments that might make you lose your eyebrows (and other body parts)? Check. Classmates who are the smartest, strongest, most intimidating girls in the world? Double check.

Cammie might be a Gallagher legacy, but she's about to learn that the most intimidating part about the Gallagher Academy are the Gallagher Girls themselves. Soon Cammie and her clumsy-but-genius roommate Liz, and the glamorous Bex have to learn the most important lesson of the seventh grade: getting into spy school is hard. Surviving spy school is harder.

pretty good tbh

The story is quick and short for a single trip and is a nice return/throw back to the Gallagher girls. Oddly enough, I liked how it sounded like the ages of the characters, rather than just a recount from an older time. Youth oozes through lol. Voice performance great and well varied for cast of characters as well.

Heartwarming revisit to the Gallagher academy

It's rare to find authors who deliver consistently on plot, characterisation and energy at a high standard, and here is one - Ally Carter invokes teenage girl without being heavy-handed, portrays adults as imposing but rational (unlike many YA novels who vilify), summons a creative fantasy universe and inspires female achievement and strong sisterhood all at once.

Recommended for readers of the Gallagher girl series as a serious nostalgia trip.

Except for some at times awkward accents, a very good performance and appropriate voice for the story.

The Perfect Prequel

After feeling like I was Cammie at the Gallagher Academy when reading the original novels, this book felt like walking down memory lane!! Another brilliant one by Ally Carter, and so well read by Rebecca Soler!
