Synopsis: Jocelyn Steely was kidnapped as a child and trained as a North Korean spy, but the tables turn when she becomes a double agent for the very American spy organization she has been sent to destroy.
I have read a decent amount of books that portray teens as spies and this is one of my favorites. I feel that the danger level in this book is comparable to that of the Alex Rider series. Jocelyn has been trained for ten years to be a spy by the North Koreans. The North Koreans use torture and keep her addicted to drugs to control her. Through all of this Jocelyn stays strong and defiant looking for her chance to escape. I highly recommend if you like spy thriller novels, like Alex Rider.
