About this book
This gorgeous paperback edition of Killer Spirit will feature stunning stenciled edges and a soft touch finish.
Saying Toby Klein is an unlikely cheerleader is the understatement of the year. But the varsity squad at Bayport High aren’t your average cheerleaders. They’re elite government operatives with the ultimate cover. And rumor has it that something’s about to go down in Bayport.
The Big Guys Upstairs know the Squad is their best shot at getting the information they need, but it looks like this mission is even more dangerous than the last. And if the spy business doesn’t kill Toby, then Brooke, the team captain, might. The nominations are in for homecoming court, and Toby’s the surprise front-runner for queen.
Tensions are high in the Squad—and Toby’s budding feelings for the most popular and infuriatingly handsome guy in school aren’t helping, either.
Terrorist threat? Mission gone wrong? Disastrous homecoming court?
Bring it on.
