Bookroo's summary

Eleven-year-old Max Remy, stuck on a farm for the summer, discovers a real spy ring. With her imagination and quick thinking, she faces off against the sinister Mr. Blue. Can Max, now part of Spy Force, navigate this unexpected adventure and prove her mettle in the world of espionage? The stakes are high, and the excitement is just beginning.

From the publisher

Max Remy is eleven and bored with her life. Her father went off to Hollywood and ends up married to a movie star and Max is left with her mother who works, works, works all the time. So Max invents Alex Crane, a super spy, and begins to fantasize about the life of a spy. Then horrors: Max’s mother sends her off to live with her aunt and uncle on a farm for the entire summer. Dull, you think. But then she stumbles into a real spy ring, and uses her wits to outsmart the evil Mr. Blue. Max Remy is now a card-carrying member of the international organization Spy Force and the adventure has just begun.
