When seventh grader Georges (the S is silent) moves into a Brooklyn apartment building, he meets Safer, a twelve-year-old coffee-drinking loner and self-appointed spy. Georges becomes Safer's first spy recruit. His assignment? Tracking the mysterious Mr. X, who lives in the apartment upstairs. But as Safer becomes more demanding, Georges starts to wonder: how far is too far to go for your only friend?

I found it to be charming and amusing, up until about the last 40 pages. And then it became thoughtful, and poignant in a way. The characters are unique and get some nice development.
I was all ready to give it three stars, for being entertaining but not overly memorable. Then the end made me reconsider, and I gave four stars. I'm fairly certain I'll remember it.
So I ended up loving this book! My heart feels like it's floating on a cloud! clutches book to my chest
