My favorite book yet! I felt like I was reading fanfiction, it was so good! I thought the books got a little mature at some points when there were Cammie and Zach moments though. Especially the tension when they were hiding in Macy's room on the train. I am so excited for Gallagher Girls 4 after reading this! Cammie got more adventurous in this book, and we discovered that the Circle of Cavan was after Cammie and not Macy which was a huge surprise. We were also introduced to Abby, Cammie's MIA Aunt. We also bring up the topic again that Macy is a descendant of Gilly Gallagher herself. And when Zach pops in at random times I squealed! I can't wait for GG4! ( )

Ages 12 and Up - Ally Carter's Gallagher Girls series is one of the few series that keep getting better with each book. In this third installment, Cammie and her roommates and best friends Bex, Macey, and Liz enter their junior year at the top secret spy school - the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. But before the school year starts, Cammie visits Macey at a political convention in Boston, where Macey's father is set to accept the vice-presidential bid in the upcoming election. A high-stakes scuffle on the convention center rooftop turns out not to be the CovOps pop quiz that Cammie and Macey hoped, but a very real kidnapping attempt. The semester is definitely going to be different, with Cammie's aunt turning up as Macey's round-the-clock secret service agent sworn to take a bullet for the girl, lessons in disguise, life on the campaign trail, and uncovering the truth behind the attempted kidnapping. As the girls get older, the dangers of their future careers become a lot more real.
This book has a little less romance than the previous two, but a lot more action and a lot more character development. Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover also doesn't end so tidily as the other two, which leaves the reader wringing her hands for more. Recommended for all public libraries teen collections and for middle and high school libraries. ( )

This third book upped the stakes, Cammie and her friends are in danger that isn't just her teachers pulling a pop quiz. During break, Cammie foils an attempted kidnapping but life doesn't go back to normal when the girls return to school. There's minimal romance in this, and more emphasis on the emotional toll of the girls spy training. ( )

I love Ally Carter’s Gallagher Girls series. Don’t Judge A Girl By Her Cover was an impulse by on my vacation, but one I’m very pleased with. It’s also the first of the books that I’ve actually read. You see, I listened to the others on audio and I have to say that they are great audio-books. I almost wish that I had listened to this on on audio too, if only because it’s hard to rush through something when you are listening to it. And let me tell you, I tore through this novel.

Description: Cammie and the Spy Chicks are at it again. This time, person or persons unknown are making assassination attempts on one of Cammie's roomies! Naturally, any spy girl worth her nightvision goggles can't let that slide by. And just to complicate matters, a certain interesting person of the male persuasion might just make an appearance. If you can see through his disguise, that is.

My thoughts: Have you ever had an experience where you meet someone, and dislike them right off the bat? Then you talk for a while, realize you really enjoy their company, and suddenly you can't remember why they used to annoy you? That's how I feel about the Gallagher Girls. The series didn't wow me to start, but I love it more, the more I read.

I can't say too much about the series that I haven't already said in my reviews of the first two books. It's smart, funny, and lighthearted, despite dealing with the admittedly scary world of spies. Thoroughly enjoyable.
A few thoughts: Are Liz and Bex ever going to get their own chance to meet guys, or will they have to live vicariously through Cammie forever? And when is Book 4 coming out? Because I can't wait too long. ( )
