Forbidden City

City Spies, Book 3

By: James Ponti

Narrated by: Lisa Flanagan

In this third “thrilling” (Kirkus Reviews) installment in the New York Times bestselling series from Edgar Award winner James Ponti, the young group of spies help a fellow agent in another international adventure perfect for fans of Spy School and Mrs. Smith’s Spy School for Girls.

After taking down a mole within their organization, the City Spies are ready for their next mission—once again using their unique skills and ability to infiltrate places adults can’t. The sinister Umbra has their sights set on recruiting a North Korean nuclear physicist by any means necessary, and the City Spies plan to keep an eye on his son by sending Paris to the chess prodigy’s tournaments in Moscow and Beijing.

Meanwhile, Sydney’s embedded as a junior reporter for a teen lifestyle site as she follows the daughter of a British billionaire on tour with the biggest act on her father’s music label to uncover what links both the band and the billionaire have to a recent threat from an old Soviet missile base.

From a daring break-in at one of London’s most exclusive homes to a dangerous undercover mission to a desperate search and rescue operation on the streets of Beijing, the City Spies have their work cut out for them on their most dangerous mission yet.

Great Series

Excellent Series. This is a great book, regardless of age. I'm not a child, adult readers will enjoy this. Clever story, good writing, love the narrator. I loved the second book in the series, this ones even better.

Great book

I thought this book was pretty good. It was so adventurous. It always kept me at the edge of my seat.

James Ponti writes the most compelling stories

each book in the series just gets better and better. The author has an amazing knack for grasping the attention of both parent and child.

Amazing!!!

It was written beautifully and kept me on the edge of my seat. Absolutely amazing

An Installment that Tops the Others - Amazing

The third City Spies installment kept me in suspense from start to nail-biting conclusion. The plot of this book proved more complex and satisfying than the first two, if that can be believed. The interweaving of spy organizations made for compelling plot twists throughout the novel. The narrator must be commended for how deftly she brings so many different accents to life. Each character receives a convincing tonal quality that is at once believable and distinct yet never overdone. I will give away none of the juicy details here, only to say that I could not stop listening. NOTE: I believe this series must be read in order for full enjoyment (and to fully understand how each character fits into the team). What Forbidden City shows is the maturation of each character as well as the team as a whole. I cannot praise this series enough. Reward yourself by becoming a member of the City Spies!

Very happy with it

It is a great story and plot I would recommend it to anyone a true page turner
