Kiki Strike: The Empress's Tomb by Kirsten Miller

Kiki Strike and the Irregulars saved the world last night. You might want to send them a thank you note. Ananka Fishbein’s mother considers her the resident underachiever of the Upper East Side. Of course, she doesn’t know Ananka’s nights are all about hanging with a butt-kicking superspy named Kiki Strike and their friends, the Irregulars. If Ananka’s mom knew her daughter was responsible for protecting a secret world under New York City, she wouldn’t think about sending Ananka to boarding school . . . on a farm!
