You know a book is great when it’s HARD to find readalikes for it! I’ve been working on this post for months, scouting for stories with the same fast-pace, code-breaking, and suspenseful feel AND also with likable characters you can root for. That’s only a handful of what’s so wonderful about James Ponti’s City Spies series, one of two series (EVER) I’ve followed from book one to the fifth installment. If your kids can’t get enough of the City Spies series, here are 9 other books, some also by James Ponti I think they’ll enjoy.

Hi! I love City Spies so much- its one of my favorite books, so I was so happy to see that you wrote a post on it. I guess I really like books from this genre, because I’ve read three books on this list: Framed, Spy School, and Mrs. Smith’s Spy School for Girls. Thank you for writing this post!
