TeenLit Book Reviews

by Laura Peyton Roberts Rating: 4 For ages 13 and up. A Secret Life, is based on the tv show, Alias. In this book, the main character, Sydney Bristow, is a college student who also happens to be a spy for the CIA. She gets sent to Paris to pose as a rich wife of an internet millionaire so she can find out if a clothing designer is laundering money is actually corrupt. This is Sydney's first assignment, so she is nervous at first. She gets into the assignment well when she finds out that Noah Hicks, an agent she likes, is posing as her husband. I gave this book a 4 out of 4 because it kept my interest the entire time. I like how the author described Paris in detail and how I can relate to Sydney, even though she is a spy. This book is well-written and the action is great. I especially like knowing how a spy works. This is a fun book to read! Lucy, Dallas, Texas
