Saving the World Is What They do

 "An irreverent blend of daredevil antics, gadgets galore, and straight-faced send-ups to classic spy and thriller tropes promise excitement from beginning to end and beyond." -- Publishers Weekly 

"The story immediately pulls readers into both the action and the sisters' sibling dynamics. Their Sensei has taught the girls everything they know about combat, fighting their enemies, and saving the world. Nonstop action, lots of fun repartee, and wholehearted emotions make this novel impossible to put down." -- School Library Journal

 "The swift pacing, young heroes, and clear moral ("We can never stop doing what's right, even when bad things happen") will please adventure fans. Bruner's humorous, cartoonlike illustrations throughout increase the book's accessibility and appeal."-- Kirkus 

"Young readers who enjoy martial arts, spy stories, and humor will devour this book.  Themes in the book revolve around family, sisterhood, serving the greater good, and overcoming fears." -- Compass Book Ratings
