Gr 36 Will Washington is your average 12-year-olduntil he gets the chance of a lifetime (after an open audition), to star as Agent Danger in the new show based on his favorite book series. Will begins to learn all the ins and outs of being a star of a show. However, he soon discovers the show is just a cover for a real spy organization. Suddenly Will must learn how to be a spy and not blow his cover on the TV show, all while getting his homework done. But how will he fare when real villains show up? Hawkins's title is definitely aimed at younger middle grade readers who are working their way up to bigger books; the text is large and interspersed with pictures. Based on the illustrations, Will is Black, and most characters are of diverse backgrounds. Sadly, the plot itself feels rushed and clichéd. Material that might have made a great graphic novel falls short as chaptered prose, with too much detail in some chapters, and not enough in others. VERDICT Ultimately, this title doesn't stand out. Skip it.Elizabeth Portillo, Finkelstein Memorial Lib., Spring Valley, NY

As Will arrives on the Code Name Dangerset, he's eager to jump into filming--and to learn what it means to be a real-life secret agent. The cool gadgets, the flashy moves--Will wants them all. But when a villain from the Code Name Danger book series shows up in real life, threatening to rewrite history, Will is launched into his first mission. Fiction and fact are blurring, and it will take all Will's training--and the help of partner Fresca, tech whiz Jarvis, and spymaster Ms. Z--to piece together the villain's identity and stop him. Will Washington plays a secret agent in the hit kids' TV show Code Name Danger, based on the bestselling book series. What no one realizes is that he's also a real-life undercover spy. Juggling filming, spy missions, and--ugh!--schoolwork is tough business. But Agent Danger is up for the task!
