If you're looking for nonstop action, then this is the book for you! I love CIA/FBI thrillers, and this new character for me, the Gray Man, was terrific. The story of an off-the-books hero, intervening to get information into the hands of the right people before a political debacle was just what I needed for a "light" summer book. If you like books like Daniel Silva, Vince Flynn or Brad Thor, this will be a good choice. Lots of action between the good guys and the baddies. Women heroes in it, too. And villains!!

Re-reading

I like the 3 endings. It made the end fun

The story kept me engaged and kept me guessing. I’d recommend this book for someone who enjoys psychological thrillers.

I really did not like this one. The pacing was very slow. I liked the present timeline more than the past .

Really fun read. Plot-driven, moves at a great pace, was everything I’d hoped the book would be. Flashbacks weren’t intrusive to the current plot events, nor too numerous; anytime we departed the main action for some backstory it was equally captivating. This is the kind of book that makes me delighted to know it’s a series.

A staff pick and a beautifully written short book by poet Aimee N. While not poems, the short stories written about flora and fauna are poetic in nature. The author picks specific subjects that have meaning in her life and intertwines scientific facts with stories about her family as well as about world issues. The stories about the Potoo and the Octopus were favorites.

This was the best book! I wanted to keep reading it and was sad it was over. My favorite part was probably when Daisys friend wished to be a grown up, at the wishing well, and she turned into a grown up but she learned she didn’t like being a grown up and she turned small again at the end of the book. She wanted to be a kid. Matilda - age 7

It was so silly! I loved it.

Another cute book in the series. Cute characters, narrated perfectly, light and fluffy. Great late night read.
