Some parents want their children to turn out just like them. Only a few secretly turn their kids into elite special operatives.
Josie Black can infiltrate any building, speak a dozen languages, and fight like a martial arts master. But no one told her that. After J.B. detects gaps in her memory, her mom reveals the truth: she works for a covert agency, and she's given J.B. the skills of a super spy.
When J.B. freaks out and runs off, a weird world of espionage runs after her. Her mom is determined to keep J.B. in the family business―and J.B.’s determined to decide who she wants to be.

Apr 03, 2021This is a very action-packed story, almost to the detriment of other parts of the story. Very early on, J. B. goes along with he friend Zoe to try to figure out how to get free of The Company, but Zoe doesn’t have very much dimension. She’s a helpful friend, but she has almost the same voicing and even illustrated mannerisms as J. B. At one point, the characters point out how ridiculous this all sounds, and I couldn’t agree with them more. There are a lot of convenient scenes where J. B. has exactly the right skill set to outsmart everything, including operatives who have been training their entire lives. She’s just that good, apparently. The art is also really simple, but action sequences are easy to follow. This was interesting for a low-stakes, fun, easy read, but don’t go looking for monumental character or plot development.
