My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A brilliant, must-read sequel to Simone LaFray and the Chocolatiers’ Ball!

Sometimes I’m a fan of sequels but many times, I’m disappointed because they fail to capture the energy and ingenuity of the original. Simone LaFray and the Red Wolves of London is the exception because it takes all the qualities of the first book and builds on them. It sets the bar high for sequels!

Expertly plotted with an intriguing mystery, this second book in the series immediately pulls us into Simone’s spy world where the stakes have gotten even higher. A young spy has gone missing, and Simone must enroll in a prestigious, private school in London to uncover the disappearance and a valuable, stolen item.

And how can we not adore the new challenges Simone must face away from her family as she comes into contact with new potential friends? Simone’s personal growth is at the core of this book. With themes of independence, friendship, family, and duty, this is a fantastic story which middle grade readers are sure to relate and enjoy.

A fantastic read that puts us in the heart of London with loads of surprises, you won’t want to miss out on S.P. O’Farrell’s second Simone LaFray adventure!
