The Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz is one of my favorites. It's about a teenage boy named Alex who discovers shortly after his uncle's death that his uncle was a spy working for MI6. Due to the circumstances, Alex (who has good physical and mental ability) is forced to go undercover in order to stop various evil plans. I loved Alex's character and personality and his ability to act as a spy, and I love the different missions he goes on. Each one is different and has different antagonists. The last book, Scorpia Rising was my favorite because it was a perfect way to end the series.
One of Ally Carter's series, the Gallagher Girl series, is about Cammie Morgan - a student at an all-girl prestigious school. In truth, this school is a spy school, where they train the girls in various areas in order to be a good spy. Cammie and her friends find themselves in a compromising situation that is revealed further into the series and they have to put their skills to the test in the real world. I love the characters and the spy school and it had a lot of action. The last book pulled everything back together and neatly wrapped the whole series in a bow. I loved this series.
Another series by Ally Carter, the Heist Society series, which is about Katarina Bishop, who is part of a family of con artists. When her dad gets suspected for stealing his art collection, Kat gathers her crew of teenage friends in order to steal them back and clear her father's name. Like the Gallagher Girl series, I loved these books because it had that same intensity and action. It's actually better written story-telling than the Gallagher Girl series, and you get a sneak peek of what it's like being a con artist. The characters all have their own personalities, which makes them all the more likable.
