Alice Éclair, Spy Extraordinaire! a Recipe for Trouble - by Sarah Todd Taylor

Book Synopsis

Baker by day, spy by night--Alice Éclair leads an exciting double life!

Alice Éclair is a regular 13-year-old girl in 1930s Paris, whipping up amazing pastries and sweets in her mother's patisserie, Vive Comme L'Éclair. But she also has a secret--she's been receiving mysterious messages with instructions that have sent her all around the city picking up packages, solving puzzles, even sneaking into fancy parties. And now she's received her biggest and riskiest assignment yet. She must pose as a pastry chef aboard France's most glamorous train, the Sapphire Express, and uncover an enemy agent before the train reaches its final stop. Lives depend on it! But none of the passengers seem to be who they say they are, and as the journey continues, Alice starts to suspect she may be in grave danger.

Armed only with her whisk, her wits, and her will to succeed, Alice must figure out who the spy is before it's too late!

Perfect for fans of the Mrs. Smith's Spy School for Girls series and the Enola Holmes Mysteries.
