Summertime is all fun and games ...and spycraft.

When Jaimie and her brother discover a hollow place in a half-dead tree, she and her friends decide it’s the perfect dead drop for their amateur spy-ring. As time goes on, the messages Jaimie receives become harder to decipher. Is one of her friends a real spy? Or is something even stranger going on?

This is a short story (approx. 26 minutes average reading time).

Perry Elisabeth Kirkpatrick lives in an undisclosed location outside of Phoenix where she and her husband chase their four little boys and an escape-artist dog. They don’t chase their cats, however, because cats hate that. She is the author of “The Kitten Files” mysteries, “The Accidental Cases of Emily Abbott” spy series, and multiple short stories.

In addition to her writing, Perry enjoys graphic design, playing a number of musical instruments, and watching movies that make her laugh.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Read
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2018
This was a fun, short story to read. I was surprised to find the charming pace suddenly changed to intense in a few short moments and the story wound up with whirlwind finish. I didn't understand some things, but that could either be because I was analyzing it too much, or I was missed something. But overall, it was a fun read.

This book was so absolutely amazing! I completely loved it! The name pulls you in from the start. The only problem was that it was to short, I would love if there was a sequel. All the code names were brilliant! Those kids should definitely join the FBI when they are older. Thank you Perry Kirkpatrick!!!

Quick paced mystery that would be sweet for a read aloud for kids. Characters were sweet and the story, while sometimes confusing, was nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun Short Story
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2018
This was a great short story! I loved the interaction between the kids; limited as it was, I never felt like anything was lacking. This was a great combination of carefree summer fun and unexpected adventure brought to an excellent finish! I loved the fact that the kids brought their parents/the authorities in on things as soon as they realized something was wrong, rather than trying to solve the problem themselves--no flimsy "no one will believe us without more evidence" excuses. Score! XD And even though I'd have loved more details on what was really going on, I thought there was a good, realistic balance--enough clues to piece together some of the danger but no FBI agents spilling classified information to random civilian families. :P

5.0 out of 5 stars A short story that anyone would enjoy!
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2018
This was a delightful short story to read. I got sucked into the story and I was really impressed with the FBI moments that the author put in. The writing was well-done and left a great impression on me. The code names were so fun, and although I predicted what was going to happen early on, this would be great clean story for all ages to read. I can see my younger brothers getting interesting in reading this wonderful story.

This story took me by surprise. I didn't expect the twist at the end. I loved all the kids in the story. Each one had a unique personality. The writing was very good and I enjoyed the story from beginning to end.

I received a free copy with no compunction for a review, good or bad.
