Totally Spies! Season One: Wild Style

Gr 4–9—Clover, Alex, and Sam are Beverly Hills teenagers by day and international spies at night and any other time of the day that WOOHP (the World Organization of Human Protection) needs them in this animated series that originally aired on Cartoon Network and ABC Family. When danger lurks, the teenagers are whisked away to the organization's headquarters in order to help defeat the bad guys. Whether it is little people with a complex, a mad scientist, or evil cheerleaders, the trio needs cool gadgets, their fashion sense, a sense of humor, and their knowledge of kicking butt to save the world in style. The characters are fairly shallow, but are likable and seem to experience growth as time progresses. The plots are action-packed, engaging, and fairly well-developed considering their short time frame. Girls who enjoy fashion, adventure, and stories about spies will like this series.—Kira Moody, Whitmore Public Library, Salt Lake City, UT
