Everyone in twelve-year-old Hale's family is a spy, going way back. They've all worked for the Sub Rosa
Society, an elite organization that's so top secret that new agents aren't recruited; they're born.
Despite the fact that Hale can defuse an explosive, don a disguise in seconds, and speak eleven
languages, Hale isn't like his spy-school classmates-- he is, as his mother puts it, "big-boned," and as
everyone else puts it, "fat."
But when Hale's parents go missing while on a secret mission--likely captured by SRS's number one
enemy--it's Hale's time to step up and (with a little help from his acrobat cheerleader little sister)
save the day. The trouble is, when you're surrounded by spies, who can you trust?
From School Library Journal
Gr 4–6—Twelve-year-old Hale Jordan has always dreamed of being a superspy like his parents. But even
though he excels at all the classes at SRS (the Sub Rosa Society, the secret agency where he lives with
his family), the other students call him Hale the Whale, and he struggles to meet the physical
requirements to become a junior agent. When his parents disappear during a mission and SRS seems
unwilling to save them, Hale uses all of his spy skills to infiltrate the League, a notorious rival
agency. Once inside the League offices, though, he finds that they are filled with old equipment and
only one remaining spy. The League's director tells him that they are a government agency that has lost
most of its funding and that the real evil organization is SRS. Confused, Hale taps into his own
agency's files, and discovers that they have marked his parents to be eliminated on sight. With the help
of two kids from the League (Ben, an inventor, and his sister Beatrix, a computer wiz), Hale takes on
the dangerous role of double agent to uncover and undermine SRS's plans. Together they discover a plot
to kidnap and recruit some of the most talented kids in the world. Hale is a quick-thinking and daring
underdog, with an impressive arsenal of skills and spy tricks. The supporting characters are quirky and
likable, such as Ben, whose inventions include a jelly bean that turns people purple, and Ben's uncle,
Clatterbuck, who disguises himself as a lumber truck driver and a watermelon farmer. The book ends on a
satisfying note but leaves plenty of room for future sequels. VERDICT Fast-paced, funny, and full of
unexpected plot twists, this spy novel will easily appeal to middle grade adventure fans.—Ashley
