Synopsis

What if the right man for the job is actually a girl? Meet MI6's new recruit. Darcie Lock is every boy's dream. Beautiful, smart ...Oh, and she's a secret agent. When Darcie's father is taken hostage in Kenya, she finds that the only way to save him is by joining the British Intelligence Service. Going undercover as Agent Zebra, Darcie has to take on the big cats of the criminal underworld - not to mention some unwanted attention from that creep, Hugo Kraus. Girl on the Run is the perfect series of adventure books for girls who don't want to let boys have all the fun. Julia Golding is the award-winning author of the Cat Royal series and she has won the Waterstone's Book Prize and the Nestle Children's Book Prize.

Author Bio
Married with three children, Julia now lives in Oxford. Her first book, The Diamond of Drury Lane, won the 2006 Waterstones' Children's Book Prize and the Nestle Children's Book Prize 9-11 age category. Since then Julia has had success with both Egmont and OUP. Julia read English at Cambridge then joined the Foreign Office and served in Poland. Her work as a diplomat took her from the high point of town twinning in the Tatra Mountains to the low of inspecting the bottom of a Silesian coal mine. On leaving Poland, she exchanged diplomacy for academia and took a doctorate in the literature of the English Romantic Period at Oxford. She then joined Oxfam as a lobbyist on conflict issues, campaigning at the UN and with governments to lessen the impact of conflict on civilians living in war zones.
