This sounds like a super fun, super enjoyable read that both teens and adults can enjoy. I love that you compared it to James Bond and Home Alone. Great review!

Poor Justin! Not only he's an orphan, but also his mom drowned and his father murdered? Hopefully, Justin can help find Pharaoh, an evil spy, and find his father's murderer. Most importantly, I hope he stays safe. Glad you found this to be humorous and yet you were able to care about Justin and his struggles. It's nice to know that CIA Bob is a father figure toward Justin; sounds like Justin needs one. Great to know that you are excited for the next books in the series! Thank you for sharing!

Its hard to find a good YA book that is still interesting enough for us 'not so young adults'. Glad to read that this series is worth the read, even out of order. :wink: Thank you for giving a good summary of the book so I know what to look forward to.

From a sampling, this is an interesting spy/revenge story. While the idea of using the orphan son of a deceased spy does seem a bit out of the ordinary, it is definitely worth a second look. Well Done.

It is almost as good as following Mr. Dickens footprints. An interesting novel, spy/adventure goes together like pasta and alfredo sauce. Justin's story is a good example of a great start for a novel of that caliber, great story that gets you to be part of it right from the beginning.

Code Name: Dodger, by Eric Auxier, is a #YoungAdult book with a perfect blend of #Action, #Spy, #Adventure, and #Romance elements. It follows the adventures of the rebellious teen orphan named Justin Reed and the beautiful illegal immigrant named Mira, and their mission to find the murderer of Justin's father.

I find it interesting, so I will read this book. Thanks for the succinct review.

Wow! The reviewer has done a very good job by talking about almost all aspects of the novel in just one piece. As i read through, the story must be full of suspense and intrigues. This is the type of book I would love to read.

Sounds like the perfect blend that would draw a reader's interest. Its always good to have plenty of humor with a spy based book.
