Don't judge a girl by her cover by Ally Carter
The Gallagher girls 3. Hachette, 2010.
(Age 12+) Don't judge a girl by her cover is a really good book
that I
thoroughly enjoyed reading.
It all started for Cammie (Cameron Morgan) when her best
friend/room-mate, Macey McHenry (the vice president's daughter) asks
her to spend the rest of summer break with her in Boston. Macey, Cammie
and Preston (President Winter's first son) go up to the roof where they
aren't supposed to be, when suddenly a helicopter begins to hover over
the roof. Their door to get back inside gets slammed shut and locked
and there is no way down. A gang jumps out of the helicopter and begins
to atttack, so Preston gets to safety, but then there is no other
escape, so they make as many of their spy moves as they can. When they
get to safety, they are with the ones they knew, but in a place they
had never seen before.
As the story goes on, Cammie's aunt comes the college as a protector
for Macey while Bex, Liz (the other room mates) and Cammie, sneak
out of the school to track down Macey when she isn't at school to make
sure that the Circle of Cavan don't get her.
When Macey finds out about her family's past, she runs away, taking the
disguises with her. When the secret service wouldn't listen to Cammie,
Bex and Liz when they tried to tell them where Macey was, they snuck
out again. When it was all resolved it got mega crazy and hurtful for
Cammie.
It took me a nail-biting two days to read to read Don't judge a
girl by
her cover, as it was absolutely fantastic to read and I highly
recommend people to read this book. I also recommend this book for
people 12-13 and over as a person any younger probably wouldn't
understand a lot of it. Warning to parents, it has some violence in it
(ie. guns and other
weapons.)
I found it really well worded and it all seemed so real, I actually
cried in one part. The characters also seemed so realistic and alive.
The characters travelled from DC to Ohio to Boston and back to the
Gallagher Girls college over and over.
This book has a set theme of spy-work, family and fame. It has a great
story-line, one that I certainly would read again, in fact I wouldn't
mind reading all the other books in the series.
I found it a great book and I highly enjoyed reading it, so jump in and
grab a copy for yourself.
