GOODREADS SUMMARY
The first title in a new series introduces a delightful new character to emerging readers — the intrepid and resourceful Agent Amelia, Secret Agent, who saves the world from evil geniuses and criminal masterminds thanks to her clever disguises, great gadgets (which sometimes work), and her brilliance at improvising in sticky situations.
REVIEW
Secret Agent Amelia is constantly saving the world from dastardly villains. She fights crime day and night, keeping her identity a secret and coming up with new gadgets (that sometimes work). This story includes three cute mysteries that will have middle grade readers practicing their secret agent skills.
The various gadgets and disguises Amelia uses are amazing. Her impression of an old lady is particularly funny, especially when she runs into her classmates. Amelia’s resourcefulness is incredible. The way she creates and uses spy gadgets makes her seem so professional. I would love to have a hand grabber to give me super reach!
There are plenty of drawings as well. They look like Amelia could have drawn them, which I find is a nice touch. The drawings helped me picture the story in my mind and enhanced my reading.
The fun doesn’t end here. Amelia has three more books (Zombie Cows, Spooky Ballet, and Golden Casefiles) to showcase her secret agent talents.

COVER COMMENTS
Pink and purple rule for Agent Amelia. This cover reminds me of a comic book, but just for girls. Amelia’s camo pants are cute and I like how the title is written sideways. Nice!
