Awesome book!
I would highly recommend this to any reader - boy or girl. The story is action-packed, with a humour entwined throughout the characters and plot. A very enjoyable, imaginative read that constantly has you trying to guess what's going to happen. You won't be able to put this book down.
Hopefully this is the first of a great series!
I look forward to reading more novels from this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars I 'Spy' The Perfect Christmas Present! December 15, 2010

I was looking for the perfect Christmas present for my children's kindle-and I found it! This book will capture the attention and imagination of a wide variety of readers. I guarantee it will have you and your kids laughing out loud. I read it in a few days and LOVED it. Throm's dad has gone missing. After some digging, Throm learns that his dad's top secret mission might've went wrong while he was trying to take down an art thief. What's a twelve year boy supposed to do when being a secret spy runs in his DNA? He engages on `his own action-packed mission' taking on the identity of his dad who happens to be a royal spy. And what fun would a mission be without two hilarious side kicks-his best friend, Danny, and Danny's sister, Hilly? They become the masters of disguise and use their sharp wit and charm to obtain clues that lead them closer to Throm's dad. This hilarious adventure eventually leads them to Ireland-the ever splendid Emerald Isle, land of endless green. They're taken on all kinds of different twists and turns along the way, even tangling with dangerous villains. The way they gather intelligence and travel incognito gives James Bond 007 a run for his money. I couldn't stop laughing the entire time because these characters are so darn funny and the situations they get themselves into are hysterical. This author has mastered the art of telling stories that are enjoyable to children and adults alike. All I can say is that I'm hooked and I know my kids will be too! I cannot wait until Christmas day!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast-paced and funny adventure December 29, 2010

By Peggy Tibbetts VINE™ VOICE

Format:Kindle Edition

Twelve-year old Thomasius Anastasius Gonzo has a big name and an even bigger problem. His dad has been missing for three days and if doesn't want to be sent off to live with his Aunt Becky, he's going to have to find him. When Thom and his friends, Danny and Hilly break into his dad's office, they get the surprise of their lives. Mr. Gonzo is not a sales clerk or a doctor. He's a spy. Armed with his dad's credentials, cell phone and credit card, Thom enlists the help of Danny and Hilly on a daring search and rescue to Ireland. Their keen instincts and quick wits get them in and out of trouble along the way. Scott makes clever use of the characters' humorous banter and zany antics to spice things up. "Spy Kidz" is a fast-paced and funny adventure middle grade readers will definitely enjoy.
