Jada Sly, a hilarious and spunky artist and spy, explores New York
City on a mission to find her mom in this "fast paced, fun" illustrated
novel from an acclaimed author (School Library Connection).
Ten-year-old Jada Sly is an artist and a spy-in-training. When she isn't
studying the art from her idols like Jackie Ormes, the first-known
African American cartoonist, she's chronicling her spy training and
other observations in her art journal.
Back home in New York City, after living in France for five years, Jada
is ready to embark on her first and greatest spy adventure yet. She
plans to scour New York City in search of her missing mother, even
though everyone thinks her mom died in a plane crash. Except Jada, who
is certain her mom was a spy, too.
With the stakes high and danger lurking around every corner, Jada will
use one spy technique after another to unlock the mystery of her
mother's disappearance -- some with hilarious results. After all, she's
still learning.
