Spotlight Series: Gallagher Girls

Ally Carter is the author of the best-selling Gallagher Girls series and Heist Society. She loved school so much she kept going...and going...and going...until finally she had to graduate. Now she has degrees from Oklahoma State University and Cornell University and a house and a job and other very grown-up things.

Her life is either very ordinary or the best deep-cover legend ever. She'd tell you more, but...well...you know...

I fell in love with Ally Carter after reading her two adult novels, Cheating at Solitaire and Learning to Play Gin. I first picked up I'd Tell You I Love You, But I'd Have to Kill You not knowing it was a YA novel. I was immediately swept up in the idea of a school for teen girls, shaping them into spies. This is one of those series that cemented by love for YA.
