This book was the only paper copy of a book I brought on our train trip to DC. I finished it in Boston before we even got on the train. It was a book I received last year but never got a chance to read.
Max Segredo's dad disappeared years ago and his mom has died. He has been shuffled through the foster care system with mostly bad results. After a mysterious fire, for which he has been blamed, he finds himself at a new school, for spies. Although he makes friends and the director tells him to think of them as family he can't resist the urge to look for his father especially when he gets coded messages telling him his father is alive and he gets offers of help. Is he willing to betray his new friends?
I really enjoyed the book but there was an overuse of clunky similes. It was very noticeable and distracting.
