“I LOVED this book so much! I spent my whole child/young adulthood waiting for my letter to the Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women- teenaged spy girl stories have always had a special place in my heart. When I saw Undercover Latina compared to the Gallagher Girls series AND that the main character is part of an organization that combats white supremacy and white extremist terrorists, I knew I needed to pick it up!....I really like Dungeons and Dragons so the game/graphic novel elements were so so cool to see! As a Black nerd who didn't see myself reflected in nerdy spaces when I was younger, I love seeing these spaces in fiction!”

“Loved listening to this! Andréa and her family are part of a private spy network to fill in gaps where traditional law enforcement fails, namely, watching and preventing white supremacist terrorist attacks. Andréa, has to go undercover as a white girl, to befriend another teen boy, whose estranged father is a white supremacist. Andréa struggles with hiding her true Latina identity while sussing out clues as to where the attack may occur. And, along the way, she makes friends and has her first crush. This was fun and fast as well as politically on point. Readers of Spy School and other spy books will adore this book. Plus, Victoria Villarreal is a fantastic narrator!”

Summary
A Latina teen spy goes undercover as a white girl to stop a white supremacist terrorist plot in a fast-paced middle-grade debut from a seasoned author of contemporary crime fiction.
In her debut for younger readers, Aya de León pits a teen spy against the ominous workings of a white nationalist. Fourteen-year-old Andréa Hernández-Baldoquín hails from a family of spies working for the Factory, an international organization dedicated to protecting people of color. For her first solo mission, Andréa straightens her hair and goes undercover as Andrea Burke, a white girl, to befriend the estranged son of a dangerous white supremacist. In addition to her Factory training, the assignment calls for a deep dive into the son’s interests—comic books and gaming—all while taking care not to speak Spanish and blow her family’s cover. But it’s hard to hide who you really are, especially when you develop a crush on your target’s Latino best friend. Can Andréa keep her head, her geek cred, and her code-switching on track to trap a terrorist? Smart, entertaining, and politically astute, this is fast-paced upper-middle-grade fare from an established author of heist and espionage novels for adults.
