Overview
From New York Times bestselling, National Book Award winning author Robin Benway comes the first book in a hilarious and romantic duology about a normal girl . . . who just so happens to be a spy.
Being a 16-year-old safecracker and active-duty daughter of international spies has its moments, good and bad. Pros: Seeing the world one crime-solving adventure at a time. Having parents with super cool jobs. Cons: Never staying in one place long enough to have friends or a boyfriend. But for Maggie Silver, the biggest perk of all has been avoiding high school and the accompanying cliques, bad lunches, and frustratingly simple locker combinations.
Then Maggie and her parents are sent to New York for her first solo assignment, and all of that changes. She’ll need to attend a private school, avoid the temptation to hack the school’s security system, and befriend one aggravatingly cute Jesse Oliver to gain the essential information she needs to crack the case . . . all while trying not to blow her cover.
From the hilarious and poignant author of Audrey, Wait! comes a fast-paced caper perfect for fans of Ally Carter
Big-name author with strong sales and stellar reviews: Robin Benway’s books do very well, especially in paperback, and have won awards and garnered tons of fantastic reviews.
Very commercial offering: For fans of Ally Carter’s Gallagher Girls series or the TV series Alias or Veronica Mars
Author has a background in publishing: Robin is a very “promotable” author who is well-connected both to other writers in the community and sellers. Her background as a publicist and member of a sales force means she gets the ins and outs of the business.
Potential TV series and/or movie: Both of Robin’s first two books are currently optioned: one for a movie and the other for a TV series. This could definitely up Robin’s profile even further!
Series potential for AKA, plus a second book from Robin coming in 2014: Robin envisions Also Known As as the beginning of a series starring Maggie, plus we’ve signed up a second standalone novel from her for Winter 2014, called Emmy & Oliver.
Fresh and fun.
The absolutely delightful cast of characters and snappy dialogue transform this book into a huge success.
From the first page to the last, this compassionate, funny, moving, compulsively readable novel about what makes a family gets it right.
Equally heartwarming and heart-wrenching.
Benway’s intriguing premise and honest tone are a winning combination as she movingly portrays the growing trust between her characters.
Heartfelt, funny, irreverent, and ultimately satisfying.
