The Gallagher Girls by Ally Carter is a delightful, witty, and at times suspenseful summer read. Set in an all-girls boarding school (think Harry Potter), centered around one girl - Cammie - and her band of friends (think Harry Potter), they must do their best at school (again... think Harry Potter) while carrying out secret - completely against the rules - spy missions (... not Harry Potter, more Agent Cody Banks). Cammie's mom is headmistress and the background in the first novel carries through to the next - setting up for a serious climactic adventure in book six (which isn't out yet).
Each book takes place during a semester, starting with her Sophomore year. I enjoyed the balance of spy lingo/adventure, quirky friends, and romantic interest. After gobbling them down in a couple of days, I can't wait for the next.
Rating: These are as good as Apple Blossoms (mini apple pies) - sweet, fun, a plot with just enough substance, and you can't wait to have another.
