Tricks to getting through summer without your brand-new best friend by Jules Bloom

1. Play a spy girl in a movie.

2. Think of ways to have pizzazz around big-time movie stars. (Hint: mudslide stunts add pizzazz!)

3. Practise how to be stealthy, which means sneaky (which means not telling everyone every single thing that’s on my mind).

4. Make good use of pen pals (even ex-best-friend pen pals can be surprisingly helpful in sticky situations).

School is out and Jules is hitting the road! She’s off to Montreal where she’ll film her first ever movie, The Spy in the Attic. But that means no friends around on her birthday and no birthday party. And with only a hockey player and diva starlet as cast mates in a town where no one speaks her language, Jules is feeling awfully lonely.

Good thing her best friend Elinor is sending super-secret spy missions to keep Jules busy. With a little stealth and a whole lot of gumption, she just might be able to turn her bummer summer into a blockbuster.
