Guess what! We nabbed an exclusive interview with Gallagher Girls author, Ally Carter! In this podcast, Ally shares her top secret stories about how the Gallagher Girls novels came to be! Listen here!I'D TELL YOU I LOVE YOU, BUT THEN I'D HAVE TO KILL YOU
The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women is a fairly typical all-girls school—that is, if every school teaches advanced martial arts in PE, chemistry always consists of the latest in chemical warfare, and everyone breaks CIA codes for extra credit in computer class. So in truth, while the Gallagher Academy might say it's a school for geniuses what they really mean is spies. But what happens when a Gallagher Girl falls for a boy who doesn't have a code name?
Cammie Morgan may be fluent in fourteen languages and capable of killing a man in seven different ways (three of which involve a piece of uncooked spaghetti), but the Gallagher Academy hasn't prepared her for 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, and track him through a mall without him ever being the wiser, but can she have a regular relationship with a regular boy who can never know the truth about her? Cammie may be an elite spy in training, but in her sophomore year, she's doing something riskier than ever—she's falling in love.
CROSS MY HEART AND HOPE TO SPY
Cammie Morgan may have a genius IQ and attend the best school in the country, but as she starts the spring semester of her sophomore year there are a lot of things she doesn't know. Like will her ex-boyfriend even remember she exists? And how much trouble did she really get in last semester? And, most of all, exactly why is her mother acting so strangely?
All Cammie wants is a nice, normal semester, but she's about to learn her greatest lesson yet—that when you go to a school for spies, nothing is ever as it seems.

This series sounds fascinating since there are not a lot of YA spy series except if you count Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys but then Nancy wasn't trained to kill. :)
Wow that sounds very interesting!
I love the pod cast. I tried to subscribe but it went to the original fbf podcast...
Thanks again for introducing more great titles and authors to read.
Hi Linda,

Thanks!

Okay, I am a working mother, volunteer librarian,activist and reader. I can't keep with all the great books out there. Thanks for providing the interviews, reviews and giveaways.
I love Ally! And I can't wait to see the movie and what she does next.
I'm just wondering, do you have to use your real name when you sign up to win a book???
Thanks for doing the interview!! I love this book series - it is for sure one of my favorites!
Hi Anonymous,
You don't necessarily have to provide a real name but you do need to provide a real email address in the form on the side bar so we can let you know if you win! But if you do decide not to leave a name, please make sure you choose a pseudonym to sign up as. You cannot sign up, for example, as "anonymous."
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Jessica
