Golden Gate (City Spies, #2)

Golden Gate
After thwarting a notorious villain at an eco-summit in Paris, the City Spies are gearing up for their next mission. Operating out of a base in Scotland, this secret team of young agents working for the British Secret Intelligence Service’s MI6 division have honed their unique skills, such as sleight of hand, breaking and entering, observation, and explosives. All of these allow them to go places in the world of espionage where adults can’t. Fourteen-year-old Sydney is a surfer and a rebel from Bondi Beach, Australia. She’s also a field ops specialist for the City Spies. Sydney is excited to learn that she’ll be going undercover on the marine research vessel the Sylvia Earle. But things don’t go exactly as planned, and while Sydney does find herself in the spotlight, it’s not in the way she was hoping. Meanwhile, there’s been some new intel regarding a potential mole within the organization, offering the spies a lead that takes them to San Francisco, California. But as they investigate a spy who died at the Botanical Gardens, they discover that they are also being investigated. And soon, they’re caught up in an adventure filled with rogue missions and double agents!

Golden Gate (#2 in the City Spies series) is another winner for author James Pointi. In this (MG) second book of the City Spies finds the main characters, a group of Mi6 spies, protecting two youngsters of influential families. Additionally, they work on tracking down the killer of a retired Mi6 agent, along with a continued effort in finding the children of their mentor.

The young agents must use all their abilities, i.e., bomb making, self-defense, keep observation, and logic to succeed, all while avoiding a super double agent who is trying to instill chaos within the British government.

Golden Gate is a page-turning read that will captivate and entertain its reader with travel destinations both in the British Isles, as well as in San Francisco.

The only thing that keeps me from rating it a 5 out of 5 is the quick wrap-up of an ending, but maybe it’s just the action filled story that seems to love so quickly. This series would make a great movie.
