Hello there! Sorry I haven't posted in a LONG time. I got discouraged that this blog would ever get publicity. But then I remembered that I need to keep on writing even though people might not visit. Unlike as I promised last time, today I'm giving a brief summary about New York Times best selling author Ally Carter's book, Don't Judge a Girl By Her Cover.
Boston, Massachusetts is bustling because Senator McHenry is there to accept his nomination as Vice President of the United States from Governor Winters. Cammie Morgan comes to Boston to visit the senator's daughter Macey, who is her roommate.
Cammie Morgan is the narrator of this story. She is destined to be a spy like her parents, going to the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women in Roseville, Virgina. Although her past says otherwise, she doesn't like lying, or snooping, especially when it involves people she loves. It's strange, I know, that she's like this when it's the family business to snoop and lie.
Macey McHenry used to be a typical girl with a big attitude. But then she came to school at the Gallagher Academy. She LOVES the fact that she spends 90% of her life on campus, away from her parents. She also enjoys that she has a secret about her school to keep: that it's a school for spies.
Cammie is led to her friend by a Secret Service agent. She mentions that there are two kinds of people in her world: those that know the secrets of the Gallagher Academy, and those who don't. When she gets to the hall of her roommate's hotel room, she can hear her screaming in anger. She is being the head strong girl that had come to her school a year ago. She was complaining that the Governor's son ( potential first son ) sent her a gift. When the girls are alone, she says that her attitude served as her cover for the summer.
An hour or so later, the girls ( and Preston Winters ) find themselves in a dangerous situation. They were in the middle of a kidnapping attempt! The girls use their karate skills to fight off their would-be kidnapper(s), only to run away into a laundry shoot, where Cammie gets a concussion and Macey breaks her arm.
Many questions follow: who were trying to kidnap Macey? What do they want from her? Al l these questions are given a suspenseful, dramatic twist at the end of the book. The girls, including their other roommates, Liz and Bex, investigate only to find a shocking truth.
This book is great for several reasons. But I advise you read the first two books in the series before reading this one. I hope you won't lose hope in this blog! Thanks, bye
