 rating: 5 of 5 stars English 425					Submitter’s name: Crystal Alexander Book Bank					Book Bank subject: Romance Reference information: Title: I’d Tell you I Love You, But Then I’d Have to Kill You Author: Ally Carter Publisher: First Hyperion Paperbacks	Year: 2006 # of pages: 284	Genre: Romance Reading level	Interest level: 8th or 9th Grade Potential hot lava: Has some references to violence but, not used as a weapon used as protection General response/reaction: I love romance novels so I was really exited to read this book. I figured that it would be something that I actually wanted to read. The first few chapters were explanatory, then after that Cammie meats Josh and you learn how hard it is for her to struggle against wanting to be with him and wanting to be a spy. Subjects, Themes, and Big Ideas: The theme of the book is Romance, about teenagers falling in love for the first time. But it also is about the girls of Gallagher Academy doing spy and secret CIA things. I really think that the big idea is being true to you while still being yourself and falling in love. Characters: Cammie: aka the chameleon, she blends in well with average a person which makes her a great spy. Bex: aka the Duchess, she is really strong and really smart, Cammie’s best friend. Liz: aka Bookworm, has a photogenic memory, but writes down everything just to be on the safe side. Josh: aka the normal boy, just your normal town kid, who Cammie falls for and spies on. Plot summary: The girls at Gallagher Academy learn the basics of how to be a spy and work for the CIA. They don’t socialize with outsiders, all there friends come from spy families. When a new teacher comes to school he sends the girls on a secret mission, Spy on their teacher, see what beverage he prefers with his funnel cake. When the mission goes wrong and Cammie ends up being left behind she meets Josh (a Normal Boy), and though she tries hard to forget him, he keeps turning up. Can Cammie fall in love with him and still be a spy? The end of the book leaves you hanging and wanting more! Strengths (including reviews and awards): The book has been picked up by Disney to be possibly made into a movie. Drawbacks or other cautions: I really don’t see any drawbacks or cautions to this book. I think that it is a simple and enjoyable read. Teaching ideas: I think that I would use this in a much younger classroom, maybe in home economics. I think that it would teach girls that falling in love is okay but you still have to be true to yourself.
