Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy by Ally Carter

SYNOPSIS:  Cammie's story continues [click here to read about book 1], as she struggles to give up her past with Josh, and learns that Gallagher is not the only academy for spies.  When their school is overtaken by exchange students from Blackthorn (a school for boys), she tries to figure out who she can trust.

AUNT SHARON'S TAKE:  Although there are some references to underwear, and other things of that nature, this book is pretty clean, and a fun read for teen girls.  I will say, however, that there isn't much substance to it, so I found it a bit boring, and I think older readers would be bored by it, also.  The characters are fun and endearing, though, so fans of the first book will probably want to read this sequel.
