Cammie Morgan is a student at the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, a fairly typical all-girls school―that is, if every school taught advanced martial arts in PE and the latest in chemical warfare in science, and students received extra credit for breaking CIA codes in computer class. The Gallagher Academy might claim to be a school for geniuses but it's really a school for spies. Even though Cammie is fluent in fourteen languages and capable of killing a man in seven different ways, she has no idea what to do when she meets an ordinary boy who thinks she's an ordinary girl. Sure, she can tap his phone, hack into his computer, or track him through town with the skill of a real "pavement artist"―but can she maneuver a relationship with someone who can never know the truth about her? Cammie Morgan may be an elite spy-in-training, but in her sophomore year, she's on her most dangerous mission―falling in love. Review: I Want to be a Gallagher Girl! - It is so sad when horrible titles and silly covers happen to good books. After reading Heist Society, by Ally Carter, (another stupid title) I knew to look past the packaging with her Gallagher Girls series and give it a shot. But I am not going to lie, I never would have picked up a book called I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You... not without previous knowledge of the author's story telling prowess! Cammie Morgan is a Gallagher Academy legacy, and her mother is the headmistress, but she is another kind of legacy, too. Both Cammie's parents were spies. In fact, the Gallagher Academy is a school for teen girl spies-in-training. The town where Gallagher Academy resides, however, thinks the Academy is for over-privileged rich girls. The girls' first mission is to keep the deep cover of the school and remember their legends (back stories) with the rest of the town. On a routine Covert Ops assignment (tail an untailable faculty member), Cammie is noticed by a local boy. This wouldn't be so unnerving if Cammie wasn't considered the best "pavement artist" at the Academy. She is able to go completely unnoticed and blend into the background in any situation... so how did Josh see her? With a hilarious troupe of misfit young female spies, Cammie and her genius friends begin Covert Ops on Josh to make sure he isn't a Honey Pot (a person using attraction to derail a spy). But Cammie's star-crossed interest in Josh could lead to more trouble than they bargained for! The first installment of the Gallagher Girls Series is really fun! It isn't the deepest story, or have some important lesson to be learned, but instead is just some good, wholesome, PG-13 rated fun! I can understand the critics of the series who are worried about the "action" of the story, but it is important to remember these girls are 15-16 years old. There isn't any real spy trouble at the academy (although I predict it might appear later in the series) because these are young girls in training. But the fun, silly happenings are still enough to keep a reader engaged and laughing. The reading level is fairly low, the content is very, very mild, and the story is lots of fun. This is the perfect book for early middle school. I would recommend this for a wide range of students (although I don't think it would appeal to boys), including high skilled 4th graders all the way to 9th grade. It might even be suitable for a low-skilled 10-12th grader, but only if they are a little more immature than their peers. I can imagine this series might be too young for most older students. But if you find the right girl to read this series, you are going to have a happy reader! Review: Clean, spy fun! - These books are classics. Clean, with a touch of rogue teenage spies in training. I gave four stars for one reason, just a lot of lying plus it deals with heavy topics that might be too weighty for kids dealing with a lot of emotional weight. Plus I would not give this to younger kids who might see if they can reenact these books. The moral compass of a spy in training doesn’t equate with training in good morals like integrity, honesty and the hurt that follows betrayal. Just a reminder that these books need to be read aloud and discussed because 99.9 percent of preteens aren’t in spy training. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #52,837 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #43 in Teen & Young Adult Mystery & Thriller Action & Adventure #53 in Teen & Young Adult Romantic Comedy #77 in Teen & Young Adult Romantic Mysteries & Thrillers | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 3,022 Reviews | ## Images ![I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You (Gallagher Girls, 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81tAqO9l40L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Want to be a Gallagher Girl! *by O***N on March 26, 2013* It is so sad when horrible titles and silly covers happen to good books.
