Marcher Lord Press
ISBN 978-1935929703
Forced
to choose between military school and a Christian spy organization,
skeptic Spencer Garmond signs on with the Bible geeks. But before he
even boards the plane for Moscow, Spencer realizes this is no Bible
club. These guys mean business. Stumbling onto a case involving a gang
of homeless boys, a chilling tattoo, and the always beautiful Anya
Vseveloda, Spencer struggles to find the faith needed to save the
Mission League from enemy infiltration.
Looking for some snappy, snarky, teenage fun?
This is the book for you...even if your teenage years are a faint blur
in your rearview mirror.
Unlikely hero Spencer
Garmond goes on quite the adventure all the way over to Russia.
Surrounded by wannabe missionaries, this bad boy breaks every rule there
is, in a lovable fashion, of course. I loved being privy to Spencer's
off-the-cuff thoughts. That's what really made this character one of my
favorites.
But don't let all the adolescent shenanigans fool
you into thinking this is a fluffy read. Author Jill Williamson tucks in
some hard-hitting spiritual truths amidst the teenage angst and
suspenseful plot.
The only down side to the book was some noticeable
editing glitches...misplaced quotation marks and a missing period or
two. Even so, don't hesitate to pick this one up for yourself or for a
teen you know, boy or girl. Either, and you, will love it.
