    “And there’s a cop over there.”
    “What you think that guy can do a better job protecting you than I can?”
    “No. I think if you don’t leave me alone, I can scream and that cop will arrest you.”

  5. And I can honestly say that none of the spy training in the world prepared me for the sight of my aunt grabbing Joe Solomon by the shirt.
    And kissing him.
    On the mouth.

  6. Cammie thinking about solomon

    As he reached for me, I jerked away. I didn’t know whether to hug him or hit him (a feeling that I frequently associate with Blackthorne Boys, to tell you the truth”, so I just shook my head. “No.” (Time Passes) It was just a slap–nothing special. Hardly something they would ever teach in P&E. And yet I felt like doing it again. And again.

  7. I don’t know brittish, but I do know gallagher, so Bloody is right up bex’s street.

    Cammie is our responsibility. (Grace Baxter)
    Then you should have thought about that before you took her bloody ice skating. (MI6 Agent)

  8. I love the part where Zach is like ‘Hello again, Gallagher Girl.’ And Cammie is like ‘Hello Blackthorne Boy.’ It’s just so clever the ways she says that ahhhh! But I kinda love all the books! A lot upset I don’t go to the Gallagher Academy in all honesty

  9. My favorite line: But the one girl in the world who knew how it felt was standing right in front of me.
    OR
    Yes, actual smileage.

  13. My favorite line is in in GG3
    When Cammie shows up and Macey is screaming at her mom:
    “If that boy–”
    “That boy” he mother corrected “is Governor Winter’s son–”
    “–Tries to flirt with me–“Macey went on, but Mrs. McHenry talked over her.

    It just makes me laugh every time I read it!! 😀

  16. Mine would have to be in Out Of Sight, Out of Time. “Cammie, were not mad you left. were mad you didn’t bring/take us with you”

  18. “If we hadn’t hated him a lot, we might have liked him a little at that moment. But we did. So we didn’t.”
    – Only the good Spy Young , Chapter 18

  20. My favourite line has to be
    “i always finish what i start” in GG2
    I also think everyone should check out the Gallagher Academy Fanfiction on fanfiction.net, it’s AMAZING xxx

    P.s CANT WAIT FOR GG6!!!! (i think the title should be ‘You Can Run, but You Can’t Spy’)

    Reply

  22. OMG my favourite lines would have to be this one –

    A boy who crossed his arms and leaned against the head of the table

    a boy who smiling

    At me

  27. From ‘Only the Good Spy Young’, “He held out his hands and opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say a word, a Louis Vuitton suitcase came flying into our room, struck the man squarely on his face, and dropped him to the floor like a stone.” I love it because it is so Macey, the image is perfect, definitely something I can see her doing.

    Reply

  28. “My name is Cammie!” I didn’t think about all the people I could have woken, all the alarms that might have gone off. I just snapped, “How did you know about Boston? Why are you working with Mr. Solomon now? Are you my friend or are you my enemy, Zach? Or, wait, let me guess, you can’t tell me.”

    Reply

  29. she (bex) shook her head. “I knew we couldn’t trust boys who keep there rooms that clean. It’s just NOT natural!”
    cross my heart. I love that part it’s funny.

  30. Ally Carter is by far my favourite author of all time, it was so hard just picking one line, so I’ve picked a few. Sorry! 🙂

    In GG1, when Cammie says: “Happy Birthday, Daddy.” I know this isn’t an obvious one, but it was just so simple, and yet so perfect.

    Again, in GG1, when Cammie writes: ‘Bex’s father was a thousand miles away, but she still had the promise of him. Who was I to take that away too soon? What would I have given for a few extra hours of it myself?’

    In GG2, when Cammie writes about her mum: ‘When she came to hug me, I saw that she was wearing thick wool socks that were far too big for her – Dad’s socks. She had on an old fraying sweatshirt that was rolled up at the sleeves – Dad’s sweatshirt. And even though I’d seen my mom in everything from ball gowns to business suits, I don’t think I’d ever seen her look more beautiful.’

  32. But a i looked at my roomates, i realized being a gallagher girl isn’t about a building. its about a sisterhood. I LOVE THESE BOOKS!!! BEST SERIES EVER!! I ALSO LOVE “HEIST SOCIETY”

  33. “Tell me or I’ll yell for Mr. and Mrs. Baxter, and you can find out how bex became bex” – Only the Good Spy Young

    • i really agree that the sixth should be long it would have sooo much stuff going on. Speaking of which, WHEN IS IT COMING OUT?!!!?!!!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
      Anyway one of my favotite lines are:
      i’d hd an illegal (sort of) relationship with a normal boy who had crashed (literally) my Covert Operations midterm last December.

      Reply

    • It should be the size of like 6 books or a least double thick or triple thick. Cause I don’t want the awesomeness to end

      Reply

  35. “It was the first time in years I didn’t wonder if my father was out there, looking at it too.”
    .
    –> Okay, it may be too serious and not so funny and all but when I was reading OSOT and the part where they find her Dad’s grave and I said I won’t cry. then this quote came. Then I cried over the book.

    Reply

    • Me too, I went through like half a box of tissues. And then at the end when Ally writes ‘so i climed to the 5th floor, to die’ (or something to that extent) i actually yelled at my book. Thankfuly the only one who heard was my mom, and after me reading books 1-4 she was used to that kind of thing.

  37. “Crazy, I went crazy.” BY FAR!!!!! That scene and the on in gg5 where cam is saying how she doesnt remember and then Zach just kisses her are my FAVORITE SCENES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  41. “Suzie’s a lucky cat” (said by Josh, GG book 1) is the line that I have remembered for like ever – its really sweet xox

  43. “So they really exist?!”-Liz
    “Liz there not unicorns” -Cammie

  44. Sometimes people run to see who come after them. Joe solomen.
    I love this qoute it is so deep and true.

    Reply

  45. Zach is so totally stalkable. Is it wrong that I fall in love more with fictional characters that with real people. And, you know, actors. Just the people I could never end up with.

    Reply

  46. Cammie- “You know, some girls might think it’s creepy having a boy watch them sleep.”
    Zach points to himself and says- “Spy”
    Cammie- “Oh, so you’re a TRAINED Peeping Tom.”
    Zach- “Product of the best peeping academies in the country.”

    • Yes, this is my favorite too! I laughed SO loud when I read this. Of course, my class was already acostumed to me laughing in the middle of very silent- and a little awakward, or they were at least after I laughed- times.

      Reply

    • Ikr that is my 2 fav. It was during the star test when I read this and started to laugh a little and the whole class started starring at me like I was a moron

      Reply

  47. My favorite line is in GG5 before camomile climbs the wall in the castle when Zachary kissed and then said ” for luck”

    Reply

  48. “Zach,” I said as I lay there “Where did you go? When you were looking for me?”
    I shifted in his arms, looked into his eyes.
    “Crazy.” His voice was a whisper against my skin. “I went crazy.”

    • most little girls in england grow up wanting to marry a prince. Bex grew up wanting to kick james bond’s butt and assume his double-0 ranking and thats my favorite because it would be really cool to kick his butt and i so want a double-0 ranking

      Reply

  49. My favorite line is that dramatic moment when she says yes josh I do go to the gallegher academy and yes these people behind me are the closes people to being my sisters. (This is when josh finds her after there little break-up in I’d tell you that I love you but then I’d have to kill you)
