A suspicious baby-sitter . . . a pair of conspiracy theorists . . . more secret codes from Spy X. Twins Evie and Andrew have more than a mystery on their hands.

Evie and Andrew have always wondered what happened to their mother after she disappeared on their birthday. Now they are starting to find out . . . and the results are very surprising. Their mother was into something big, and now the twins are being drawn in as well.

But Evie and Andrew will have to uncover the truth if they ever want to see their mother again.

This review is from: Hide and Seek (Spy X, No. 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

Andrew and Evie Wall's mom, a spy working for a secret organization, disappeared almost a year ago. Just when they were beginning to lose hope of ever seeing her again, they received a package from her, full of cryptic messages. An old colleague of their mom's, Mrs. Digitalis, tried to train the kids to decode messages, but she had to flee, and soon after, Evie's dad announced they were moving to San Francisco. Now the twins have had to start at another new school in another new town, and they fear their mom won't be able to contact them again. But it isn't long before they receive another package from their mom, sending them on another dangerous mission as they struggle to find out who they can trust.

Kids who enjoyed the first book in the Spy X series won't want to miss this book. It's a fun mystery/adventure story that moves along at a fast pace, and Andrew and Evie are likable and realistic characters -- twin siblings who love each other, but of course, fight sometimes. Readers will be in a big hurry to read the next book in the series, Proof Positive, after this book's cliffhanger ending.
