About this book

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Inheritance Games series, meet the Squad—pretty, popular, and extremely dangerous. These cheerleaders are actually spies.

This gorgeous paperback edition of Perfect Cover will feature stunning stenciled edges and a soft touch finish.

When sophomore computer hacker and karate black belt Toby Klein moves to Bayport, cheer is the last thing on her to-do list. But after a mysterious note urges her to audition for the school’s squad, she realizes that behind those pom-poms is a dangerous secret.

The Squad is the government’s secret weapon—elite spies hidden in plain sight. And they need Toby. There’s a classified information leak in Bayport, and Toby has the skills to retrieve critical intel from the only person who has it—the most popular boy at school.

But evil lurks in Bayport, and Toby’s recent glow-up has put a spotlight on her . . . which might just get her killed.
