Spy Sisters Versus Snake Ten-Fangs (Spy Sisters #1)

A trio of spy sisters leap into action to rescue their parents and save the world in this fun action-adventure series launch. Only three people stand between pale-skinned supervillain Snake Ten-Fangs and his bid for world domination: 13-year-old leader Kay-7, formerly fearless 10-year-old Scar, and six-year-old linguist Mia. On their handler Dr. Nobody’s orders, the three travel to India to protect the maharajah’s family—and a mysterious Green Carpet, which holds the key to world peace—from Ten-Fangs. To the sisters’ horror, however, they arrive too late to thwart the evil-doer’s scheme. Already shaken by their failure, the girls are further stunned to learn that their martial arts teacher Sensei Takahashi, their neuroscientist and geneticist aunt Beatriz, and their parents have been abducted. Now, Kay-7, Scar, and Mia must use their considerable spycraft skills to recover their loved ones and stop Ten-Fangs’s nefarious plot. An irreverent blend of daredevil antics, gadgets galore, and straight-faced send-ups to classic spy and thriller tropes promise excitement from beginning to end and beyond. Astute readers will revel in Markham’s wry humor, clever wordplay, and boldly determined heroines. Animated spot illustrations from Bruner (Only You Can Save Christmas!) depict characters with varying skin tones. Ages 7–10. (Mar.)
