Hi everyone,
I’m sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news, but I just learned that Only the Good Spy Young will now be released on June 29, 2010 instead of June 15th.
This is largely my fault as this book took many more drafts to write than I had initially thought. In the end, though, I’m happy with the book–very happy–and I hope you will be too.
I also hope that you’ll agree that it’s better to have a book you love that’s slightly late than a book that comes out two weeks earlier and contains many things you’ll regret for years to come.
Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding,
.
Ally

ps…the official back cover copy is finally here:
.
When Cammie Morgan enrolled at the Gallagher Academy, she knew she was preparing for the dangerous life of a spy. What she didn’t know was that the serious, real-life danger would start during her junior year of high school. But that’s exactly what happened two months ago when she faced off against an ancient terrorist organization dead set on kidnapping her.
Now the danger follows her everywhere and even Cammie “The Chameleon” can’t hide. When a terrifying encounter in London reveals that one of her most-trusted allies is actually a rogue double-agent Cammie no longer knows if she can trust her classmates, her teachers—or even her own heart.
In this fourth installment of the New York Times best-selling series, the Gallagher Girls must hack, spy, steal, and lie their way to the truth as they go searching for answers, recognizing that the key to Cammie’s future may lie deep in the past….

April 7, 2010 at 5:38 amEeep! The back cover sounds amazing! I and I just love a good conspiracy. XD My brain is telling me Zach is said double agent, but I think it’ll just be epic no matter what happens. haha
No worries on the new publishing date. A week or two more won’t kill us. Plus, you’ve already given us one book this year, so it’s alllll good. haha

April 7, 2010 at 3:26 amOh man! 2 extra weeks of suffering!(Haha just kidding)
Well anyway, As long as the book is awesome(Which I don’t doubt a bit) I think it will worth the wait.
So I have conclude:
an 80% of me says the doble agent is Zach. An 5% says it’s any of cammie’s classmate. An 5% says it’s Joe Solomon. An 9.9% says it’s any other person and an 0.1% says it’s Josh.
(The last one: Totally a Joke!)
And like if cammie trust really well Tina, or if Joe Solomon is a friend of cammie. But those are just guesses :).
Well, just 83 days to go!!

April 7, 2010 at 3:16 amwow!!! the 12th comment hurt my brain O.O
Kylie says
April 7, 2010 at 3:24 amAwww… I’m upset. But I’ll live. Hopefully…
I think Aunt Abby might be the double Agent. Because in the last book she told Cammie not to trust him. Aunt Abby wants to lead Cammie to think that Zach is the bad guy so she doesn’t seem suspicious, but it Really it’s her herself! I really don’t want it to be Zach. I love him too much. He doesn’t seem like a double agent, he seems like a protector for Cammie. <3
Oh well whatever you come up with Ally I know it will be Truly Amazing! 🙂
Marina says
April 7, 2010 at 3:03 amHaha I’m actually kinda excited that the publishing date is moved forward because it’s now closer to my birthday and I can think of nothing better to spend my birthday money on! And it sounds wonderful!

April 7, 2010 at 3:07 amThat’s fine! It’s not like it’s 6 months later or anything! I finally got to read (and read again) Heist Society and it was awesome! One question for you–is the Henley a real museum? I know several of the ones listed (like the Louvre) are real, but since I looked it up and couldn’t find it, I’m supposing it’s a product of your (awesome!) imagination. Is that correct? Can’t wait for GG4 (and Heist 2!)
Jess says
April 7, 2010 at 2:53 amhmm…interesting….I love the summary of GG4! and though i wish it could be earlier, 2 weeks isn’t that much of a big change so I’m glad as long as it’s goode which…it sounds to be! I think Zach’s going to be the double agent but then…does cammie trust zach? who else could it be? hmm…though I think zach’s trying to protect cammie because in Boston zach (in disguise) “accidently” bumped in to her which we all know is impossible because…well he’s ZACH! and he doesn’t do accidents. so…my feeling is…zach’s original job is to be the bad guy but then he fell in love with cammie and decided tonprotect her….OR zachs pretending to be a double agent but is actually a triple agent and his job is to protect cammie…AH MY BRAIN HURTS ANYWAY ZACH N CAMMIE ALL THE WAY!! :p
sandy says
April 7, 2010 at 2:35 amwow!!1 i dont care when it comes out as long as its worth the wait!!! omg wat if zacks the bad guy???? i cant wait!!!!
Audra says
April 7, 2010 at 2:37 amOh, it’s okay Ally its just a date we will all live.(maybe…hehe just kiddin’)Well, I can’t wait!!!Will Zach be in it or will he not…GOSH my head is going to blow up on the thought!!!KEEP ON WRITEN’!

Claire says
April 7, 2010 at 9:22 amOkay this is what i think….. The Blackthorn school (you know the one for the guys) is the evil school and Zach is suppose to be bad but he likes Cammie to much so his a double agent. He is still doing his job but he is warning Cammie about it or somthing. My other guess is Joe Solomon. But i don’t think so. i SO HOPE that Zach is good nnot bad. I think everyone thinks he is the double agent but they dont want him to be. i hope he protects her. Well that is what i think. 😀 Love you zach and Cammie.

April 7, 2010 at 10:07 amSo is it the 29th of June internationally or what? Things always come out later in Australia anyway, so I guess it doesnt really matter either way
Sydnyc says
April 7, 2010 at 11:41 amI’m a little dissapointed. I was going to hve a great 2 weeks first I’d spend a week reading gg4 then go to camp. But I could read it after camp. I just really can’t wait for it to come out!
Michella says
April 7, 2010 at 1:07 pm2 weeks isn’t that bad ;] I’m sure I’ll last. This gives me an extra 2 weeks to read the other books multiple times. 😀
Roxy Wright says

Misty & Tricia says
April 7, 2010 at 8:31 pm*GASP!!!!!!!!!* IT SOUNDS AWESOME!!! But… BUT! What if it’s Cammie’s DAD! AAAHH!! Like, what if he’s not dead, and what if Cammie’s mom knows it! He could be the double agent and her mom hates him for it! *GASP!* IT MUST BE! Because it can’t be Zach, because it’s waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too obvious!! EVERYONE thinks it’s him! And it’s never the first guy you think of! Hah HAH! *Tricia agrees* And btw, comment number 12… LOVED IT! XD
Laura says
April 7, 2010 at 8:32 pmI think I can wait another two weeks… I can’t wait in tell GG4 comes out!
Hope you had a nice time in Europe!
Micah says
May 5, 2010 at 2:58 amI don’t think the double agent is Zack, I think it’s going to be Bex, because of the whole London thing even though I would never think that on a million years if it hadn’t said London unless it’s Macey, but I doubt that.
