Ally Carter is a great writer and this book just proves it. She weaves in the new mysteries and includes some old ones too, just to tie all of the books together. Once it comes down to the final showdown, I wouldn't be surprised to see all of the characters (spies or not) included in the battle. This series is fantastic, and I definitely recomend this book

I finished the galley for this book last week and I really enjoyed it. I think each book could have more in it though. I'm not sure what I mean about more, but the books are spread out too far and are too forgettable that if there was more to it, I wouldn't have to spend the first few chapters trying to remember what happened in the last book. Maybe it needs more action or more missions or something. That being said, I always enjoy the books when I am reading them and this one is no different.

Are there really schools out there that teach you espionage? If so, where can I apply? The whole idea behind Gallegher Academy is amazing. It is a boarding school that teaches young women how to be the deadliest spies in the world. Sure it would suck not having boys at your school, but I think I'd get over it after learning how to decapitate a man with a nail file. (Ok yuck, I could never do that...I'd make a horrible spy.)

I've been hooked on this contemporary, but not really realistic, series about Cammie and her friends at the Gallagher Academy, a school for future spies. Before I started this series, I had read Ally Carter's Heist Society and really enjoyed that book as well.

The third book in the Gallagher Girls series finds Cammie Morgan involved in a presidential campaign when her schoolmate Macey's father is running for vice president. When Cammie and Macey escape a kidnapping attempt, Cammie and the rest of the Gallagher Girls must protect Macey from those wishing to attack her. Old secrets are revealed, and the Cammie realizes Macey was not the intended target of the kidnapping...she was.

This book is more serious than the others. Unlike the first two, the danger is right at the beginning. No more playing games for the Gallagher girls!
The girls’ relationships are not so tight-knit. They’re all under a lot of stress and it starts to show.
The Gallagher Girl books just make me smile so hard and this one was no different. The observations, irony, Cammie’s personality, it all just clicks really well for me. Unfortunately, in this book, Cammie is a bit more pighe More...

I really look forward to new books in this series. I'm a bit addicted to them if I'm honest and this was another fun installment.
When Cammie visits her friend Macey in Boston things don't exactly go to plan. Unless the plan was being ambushed! Or finding themselves part of an attempted kidnap they barely manage to escape. Desperately wanting to help keep their friend safe, Cammie, Liz and Bex use their spy skills to find the truth...

This is the third book in the very awesome Gallagher Girls series.
Cammie's almost ready to start her junior year at the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women, but first she's meeting one of her best friends, Macey, in Boston.

While still keeping with the overall light and fun air of the previous two books, Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover adds a new intensity and danger to the Gallagher Girls. Jumping into the action and plot quickly, there is a noticeable shift in atmosphere throughout this book as a result of the foiled kidnapping attempt.
Cammie goes through a striking amount of growth and change as this installment progresses, getting a gutting first hand look at the dangers of the spy life. Her More...

Cammie has been through a lot of boy problems (technically 2) and is now in her junior year at the school for Gallagher Girls. Now she and her friend Marcey are in danger.
The 3rd book was more interesting then the last two, but it is still frustrating to read. Knowing that's Cammie's personality and that's how she narrates, it still bothers me how she thinks she is all that. There were also a lot of confusions because of the lack of details. One point she may be describing the fight More...

Cammie couldn’t be more excited to visit her roommate Macey McHenry in Boston to watch the official nomination of the presidential and vice presidential candidates. But Cammie’s end of summer turns out to be a little too exciting when Macey is nearly kidnapped. As the new school year at Gallagher Academy starts up, Cammie can’t forget what happened in Boston. She’s just not the same anymore, not after an attack like that. She can’t shake the feeling of how close the girls were to losing to their

So I'm going to kind of steal a review I read from my Kindle, but add my own thoughts to it.
What this woman said who reviewed it was that this book wasn't what she was expecting or wanting. She wanted more Zach and Cammie, more of the fun, flirty, everything-will-be-okay-at-the-end (or maybe that's just putting words into her mouth). What she wanted was the first book. But what she got was the third.
It's darker, more urgent, more -- spylike, I guess. And while there isn't More...

Ally Carter does it again. Can someone please explain to me how an author can write four previous books and not disappoint at all? Ms. Carter's writing style, characters and plot are just as wonderful and engaging as the previous two books in the series!
The plot with a touch of danger and a lot of mystery and a sprinkle of romance, is well written and flows perfectly. There was research brought into this book as well as heart and soul.

Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover by Ally Carter is the third book in the thrilling Gallagher Series. This time things get more serious for the Gallagher girls unlike the pervious two books in the serious.

I thought the first two Gallagher Girls books (I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have to Kill You and Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy) were a lot of fun, but this one didn't quite live up. The first two were primarily driven by romantic-interest storylines, and I think in the end that's what made them work - the fun of the book was seeing the struggle of trying to balance being a supergenius student at an elite spy school for girls and being a teenage girl who's trying to figure out her way ar

In the third book of this delightful series about a girls' boarding school that is actually a school for spies, Cammie "The Chameleon" Morgan visits her roommate Macey in Boston for a fun end to the summer at a huge political party for Macey's dad, only to find their extraordinary spy skills coming in handy when Cammie and Macey get kidnapped. Secrets and mysteries abound when the two return to campus—everything from who is after Macey, how the Gallagher Girls can keep each other safe

Cammie Morgan had no idea what was in store for her when she went to visit her roommate, Macey, over the last few days of summer vacation. As Macey’s father accepts the vice-presidential candidate nomination, Cammie and Macey are caught in a kidnapping attempt. Using all of their Gallagher Girl skills, Cammie and Macey save themselves and Preston…but just barely.

Cammie Morgan, spy-in-training, is back in Ally Carter’s Don’t Judge a Girl by Her Cover. Along with her three best pals at the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women (i.e., spy school), Cammie must try to stop a potential kidnapping. This time, though, the intended victim appears to be one of their own.
Macey, one of Cammie’s bffs, is on the campaign trail with her father who is running to be the next vice president of the United States. Macey becomes a target for the media, a More...

4.5 stars. I think this is my favorite book in the Gallagher Girls series so far - the stakes are higher, the action is more "real", and the characters have already been introduced so they now seem comfortable and read smoothly. Over summer, Cam takes a break from her school for female spies-in-training and visits her friend Macey, whose dad is running for Vice President. They make a wrong turn, narrowly foil a kidnapping plot, and even after they return to school in the fall, the t

When I saw this book I was so excited. It was pretty pathetic, haha. I love this series! I mean it's about a spy school, how much cooler can a book get? This book was exciting! It was definitely had more adventure then the previous books. I loved the characters, they kicked but in this one! I enjoy Cammie, she is strong and independent, and is a great spy. In this book, she became soooo much better and confudent. Liz is super smart but always seemed vulnerable to me. But in this book she stood h

It has been a few years since I last read one of the Gallagher Girls books and I was worried I might be a bit lost. But I didn’t need to have worried, because I soon was caught up in the story and everything came flooding back. The action was heated up and there were even more secrets, plot twists, and thrilling clues in Don’t Judge A Girl By Her Cover. The title was definitely a perfect fit for this story as Cammie, Bex, Liz, and Macey face a lot of new challenges and their different “covers” a

This is the third book in the Gallagher Girls series, and the first one that I read. What I liked was that it didn't take very long to get caught up on who all the characters were. I really enjoy how smart all of the girls are, with all the languages they speak, that they're capable (in a deadly way), and that they still manage to be giggly, occasionally awkward teenage girls. In this particular book Cammie and her friends are starting their junior year at the Gallagher School. First, Cammie jo

After spending most of her summer vacation in Nebraska, Cammie Morgan is ready to do something a little more exciting. Traveling to Boston to spend some time with her roommate Macey McHenry and to watch Macey's dad accept his party's vice presidential nomination seems like the perfect last hurrah before the start of junior year at Gallagher. And the trip is everything Cammie expected - until the attack on the roof. The kidnappers are well trained and determined, but Macey and Cammie are Gal More...

Cammie goes to some kind of presidential party with Macy when they are suddenly attacked! From then on, it's about trying to save Macy from whatever potential threat is out there.
I really did enjoy this one. There seems to be a lot more adventure scenes since the focus of this book isn't about boys anymore. Although, Zach and Preston, a new character, make a few appearances in this.

This is the third book in an amazing series. Can I just say that I have always had a fascination in boarding schools and books that involve Boarding Schools are my favorite. I guess it is because you remove the element of parents and a whole world of possibilities opens up. But then you combine that with spies and esponiage and it becomes so much better.
