Middle school meets Mission: Impossible when Bridget heads to New York City to save her spy-dad from enemy agents. Packed with action and laughs, the second book in the Bridget Wilder series is now available in paperback.
Can Bridget ditch her annoying older brother, squash a budding crush, and prevent global disaster before her mom texts to check in? Or are Bridget's days as a spy over--for good?
When the top-secret spy agency that recruited Bridget turns out to be a fake, Bridget hopes her superspy father will teach her his tricks, stealth codes, and martial-arts moves (WRONG!). Instead of drop-kicking evil villains and shooting laser beams from her lip gloss, he wants to bond over normal (aka BORING!) stuff like TV, fro-yo, and boy talk. But when Bridget gets framed for stealing cheerleading secrets and ruining the coolest party of the birthday season, her spy instincts kick in: she's being set up. And when her spy dad goes missing, Bridget knows she's the only one who can bring him back alive--official spy or not.
Now Bridget's back in the spy game and on a plane headed straight to New York City with her best friend by her side and a crafty nano-marble sidekick that does everything from hacking phones to taking down the fiercest enemy agents.
It is no secret--Bridget Wilder: Spy to the Rescue is the second mission in an explosive series packed with humor, high-tech gadgets, and best of all: girl power.
