Becky in Publisher's Weekly
   
 

Publisher's Weekly interviewed our own Becky about the new Young Adult series by Ally Carter. Titles so far include I'd Tell You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You and Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy.

“My daughter is 12 ½ and the perfect age for these books,” says Becky Smith, manager of Town Crier Bookstore in Emporia, Kans. “She likes that Cammie is a strong, smart girl still interested in boys, but not ga-ga over them. She’s a kind of 007 for girls.” (read more...)
