What a fun read! I wish this book was around when I was 11. Mostly, this is a mix between a James Bond and Nancy Drew novel. But, the narrator, Ananka, adds tips on topics like disguise, surveillance, and "how to kick some butt". I was so drawn in that I thought, momentarily at least, that I could personally escape a kidnapping plot or trail someone without getting caught. Kiki, Ananka, and the gang of girls are tough and smart. Sidney Bristow, just a few years younger.This book for me, was a different genre- so it was interesting reading it. Ananka Fishbein- a high school student at an all girls school in New York city lived what some people might call a rather boring life. Until she meets Kiki Strike. A rebellious girl who befriends Ananka and other girls. They lead a more exciting life. (I'm trying not to spoil anything :D) I found the begining a bit boring,and I really wanted to get past it. Being persistent, I kept reading it. I got torwards the middle,
Kiki Strike is the just the type of MOXIE heroine I'm always looking for. Smart, fearless, resourceful and just all around cool! The narrator Ananka is amazing and makes me smile--reminds me of how much fun being a curious and daredevil girl can be. It's been so refreshing to read about an angst-free kick-butt heroine and real girl friendships.What I really love about this book is that author Kristin Miller actually understands the basic fact that setting a novel in a cosmopolitan and diverse
This book is so cool, it starts off slightly boring but it's sort of if Coraline were mixed with that 2006 animated film 'Flushed Away', featuring an underworld of New York City and mysterious, unique characters. The cover illustration and inside map of the city was really great, too.
Read this book! I cannot stress it enough. You must give it a try and read it!
This is now one of my favorite books! This book is brilliant. It's a good read for tweens and teens. This superspy really kicks butt! This group of smart, loyal, sly girls make a great team. One of the best books I have ever read. I think everyone who loves a good mystery should read it.
I realize I'm not the target audience but I read this book because my 9-year-old daughter loved it so much that she wanted to tour all the historical and secret-city places mentioned in the book. I would give the book 5-stars for igniting a curiosity in old NYC which is very cool. I can see why a tween would love the book; there's a mystery, bad guys, a group of young girls coming together to use their unique and special skills ranging from disguises to science to historical knowledge to martial
