Probably the best one in the series. The cliff hanger is unbearable though, so it would be really, really nice if you continued the series :) Releasing The Spy Who Totally Had A Crush On Me was definitely a good choice. I loved it!!

I searched everywhere for the third book and finally downloaded it in my dad's Kindle. It's strange reasons on a Kindle, but I'll get used to it if it is the only way yo read your latest book. I sure hope you continue the series! Chloe Mr. Spradlin,

To answer your question, the two majors Marvel (owned by Disney) and DC (owned by Warner Brothers) are owned by the big movie companies. But they've made some good movies and bad movies. My hope is the movies which gain the most attention will drive kids to read the books. And the quality of writing in the books today is pretty amazing. Much better than it has been in the last twenty years or so. In addition, there are some 'Independents' comics publishers who are creating AMAZING graphic novels and comics. I know the expense is an issue. Please message me on facebook with your address. I might be able to get you a small supply of comics (for your review first of couse) that your students might enjoy. And thank you so much for A) participating in the blog discussion and B) getting your students hooked on a 'Michigan Author'. Tell them I am working fast and furiously on my next novel The Raven's Shadow. And if there were any fans of my first books Spy Goddess an ebook of third book THE SPY WHO TOTALLY HAD A CRUSH ON ME is now available on the Amazon Kindle store. Thanks again so much for your support and friendship! Mike Spradlin Janeen,

Part of my concern is the cost. I am a teacher building my classroom library on used books right now. I can buy a good used book for approximately the price of a comic, but I will probably purchase a few, and ask some of my reluctant readers what they think, if I can pull them away from another Michigan author I got them hooked on.
