Also Known As is a must read for any fan of Ally Carter’s Gallagher Girls series. Here we see Maggie troubled with the problems of trying to be a normal teenager girl while also having to hide the fact she is an international spy that can crack any lock on a door, locker, or safe. I came across this book when I had too much time on my hands and was browsing the Barnes and Noble store. I was super excited to learn that, even though Ally Carter’s series on spies has ended, there was another series out there which happened to be very similar. Robin Benway is able to appeal to any teenage girl with Maggie’s hilarious encounters with girls and boys alike throughout her entire attempt to defeat the bad guys. With these thoughts in mind, I give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars for the interesting twists throughout the story but only a 4.5 because the relationships that Maggie builds are pretty predictable.
