Spy Runner

"When young Jake comes to believe that his mom’s new boarder is a Russian spy, he’ll stop at nothing to uncover the truth. But what happens when the truth reveals the sickly underbelly of society? Spies, traitors and double agents all help bring 1950s-era McCarthyism to life. Eugene Yelchin jacks up the tension but still allows space for strange, quiet moments and artistically blurred photographs that look straight out of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. With gunshots, car chases and even attempted murder, this book is perfect for young adrenaline junkies. (For ages 8 to 11)"
