| Summary |
The spies head to New York City when a credible threat is made against a young climate activist. |
|
"Thirteen-year-old Rio, also known by his cover name, Rafael Rocha, is a skilled street magician with a love of all things food and an ability to charm almost everyone who crosses his path. Such is the case when the City Spies travel to Venice, Italy, to protect a young environmental activist during a demonstration in Piazza San Marco. Thrilled to meet a fellow Brazilian, she invites him along to her appearance before world leaders at a nearby UN conference. And when he spots a bomb on their boat as they're crossing the canal, his quick thinking helps him get everyone evacuated safely. He's hailed as a hero and thrust into the spotlight--which is the absolute last thing that any spy would ever want. With the threat against the activist still hanging over her, the City Spies follow her to Washington, DC, and New York City as she continues to speak out for her cause. They've got to work extra hard to maintain their cover, thanks to Rio's heroic efforts, and when unforeseen circumstances take both Mother and Monty out of commission, the spies' skills are put to the ultimate test without the adults to help. Can they succeed in one of their most complex missions to date? -- Jacket. |
