Forced to choose between military school and a Christian spy organization, skeptic Spencer Garmond signs on with the Bible geeks.
Title: The New Recruit (The Mission League #1)
Stars: 5
Age Level: 10+
Violence: Well. Uh. This, *ahem* is a spy book--so there was some.
What I thought about this Book:
I was sucked in from the first paragraph. Characters, writing style, plot--everything was perfect.
Spencer Garmond *SPOILER ALERT* [(if that is what we should really call him...)] *SPOILER ENDED* signs up to go on with the Bible geeks instead of being sent to military school.
Soon they're in Russia for the summer mission trip and meet lots of people. But when Spencer meets the blonde that he's been dreaming about for years, freaky things start to happen.
This is now one of my all time faves. I wish I had Jill's ability to describe and make characters feel real. Her writing style is amazing.
I could go on for many hours more about how fantastic this book was, BUT I can't do that because I have several other things I have to do.
But one thing, I don't know how I'm gonna live until I can buy book two.
