A parent would reach for this book when their teenager is grappling with the pressures of leadership, the weight of expectations, or the bittersweet transition of leaving one chapter of life behind for the next. This concluding volume of the Gallagher Girls series finds Cammie Morgan and her elite group of spy friends on a global mission to stop an ancient terrorist organization. While the plot is high-octane adventure, the emotional core focuses on the intensity of female friendship and the bravery required to define oneself outside of a family legacy. The story beautifully navigates themes of grief and recovery, as Cammie deals with the loss of her father and her own trauma. It is highly appropriate for middle and high schoolers who enjoy fast-paced mysteries but need a story that validates the stress of 'saving the world' (or just finishing high school). Parents will appreciate the strong emphasis on teamwork, intellectual competence, and the healthy, supportive bonds between the female protagonists as they face adult-sized challenges.
