About this listen

In this Audible Original prequel to Ally Carter's New York Times best-selling Gallagher Girls series, narrator Rebecca Soler brings her charm, enthusiasm, and impeccable accent work to the world of teen spies and boarding school drama, making for a perfect introduction to the series—or a new favorite for long-time listeners.

The first day at a new school is tough for any kid, but it's especially scary when you're going to a school for spies. Cammie Morgan has spent her whole life dreaming of becoming a Gallagher Girl, but she has no idea what she’ll face when she arrives at The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women. Secret passages? Check. Lab experiments that might make you lose your eyebrows (and other body parts)? Check. Classmates who are the smartest, strongest, most intimidating girls in the world? Double check.

Cammie might be a Gallagher legacy, but she's about to learn that the most intimidating part about the Gallagher Academy are the Gallagher Girls themselves. Soon Cammie and her clumsy-but-genius roommate Liz, and the glamorous Bex have to learn the most important lesson of the seventh grade: getting into spy school is hard. Surviving spy school is harder.

Highly Recommend

I cannot recommend this audiobook highly enough! It is ideal for anyone who has or hasn't read the Gallagher Girls series. Rebecca Soler is a fantastic reader and I love how she made each character distinct and really alive.
Within the first three minutes I knew I was hooked and I've already started my second listen thru.

Definitely a tween book. Not YA.

Decent writing and good performance. Illogical plot. Fun, but not an ‘enjoyable for all ages’ story. Aimed at teens and younge

Nice Surprise

The Gallagher Girl series was not a series I could get into when I tried reading it as a teen. It just couldn't keep me hooked. This short story has me thinking that I should give it another go as I really enjoyed it. I listened to it in one sitting and the narration was fantastic. Glad this was included was an Audible Original pick.

Great light read. LOVE the narration!

Narrator is extremely articulate. She makes the characters come to life. The story line is good. It reminds me of a teen X-men type theme. It was a nice light read after a Holocaust book. Plus I could listen when my daughter was in the car without worry of language. Good book about bullying, embracing differences, and friendship.

Terrific prequel, would love to follow the series!

The Spies that Bind by Alley Carter and narrated by Rebecca Soler is a short prequel with hand picked 7th graders going to a special school to train to be spies! It's a girl's school and this story revolves around the first week. Lots of great characters, interesting world building, and girl bonding. I think I might follow this series, it is so clever and delightful at the same time.
Narration was excellent.

Haven't I read this before?

Seems a bit like a spy school version of Harry Potter, but still a lot of fun.
