What is Liar & Spy about?
When Georges moves to a new Brooklyn flat, he discovers a secret spy club in the basement and meets Safer, an intriguing boy his age. Soon they are watching Mr X, a mysterious neighbour who lives upstairs. At first, spying feels like an exciting game and gives Georges a new friend. But Safer’s missions become increasingly demanding, forcing Georges to question what is true, how far loyalty should go, and whether friendship can survive secrets and lies.
