International Intrigue Has Arrived at Our Door!

Join us for the intriguing NYC launch of City Spies: Mission Manhattan by JAMES PONTI, the fifth installment in the New York Times bestselling City Spies middle grade series! James will be in conversation with GORDON KORMAN, author of Slugfest, and ADAM GIDWITZ, author of Max in the House of Spies.

In City Spies: Mission Manhattan, the City Spies are headed to the Big Apple! A credible threat has been made to a young climate activist who is scheduled to speak in front of the upcoming United Nations General Assembly, and they're determined to protect her. With Rio acting as alpha and a new member in their ranks, the team’s mission to protect a fellow teen takes them on an exciting adventure in, around, and even under the greatest city in the world as they follow leads to the outer boroughs, the UN Headquarters, and even the usually off-limits stacks that extend deep under the main branch of the New York Public Library. If they can make it here, they can make it anywhere, right? But can they make it here?
