Untraceable
Series: The Factory
Pub Date: October 14, 2025
Format: Paperback
With gripping results, this companion novel to Undercover Latina returns to the high-stakes world of the Factory—an international organization of spies protecting people of color.
Fifteen-year-old Amani Kendall’s biggest problem is being the only plus-size Black girl at a white private school—until her house burns down and her family is unexpectedly on the run. Suddenly, she’s reeling from the news that her formerly boring mom is being pursued by an ex-boyfriend turned stalker, and her scientist dad has gone MIA. At the same time, she has to navigate an underfunded school in the city, suffering the cultural whiplash of being surrounded by other Black students, including the cute boy who’s an old family friend. How much danger is their family really in, and how untraceable are they trying to be? Her mom offers only half-answers and roundabout lies, so Amani starts to investigate. But her sleuthing has unexpected consequences, uncovering secret family legacies that will change their lives forever. A revealing prequel to Undercover Latina for existing fans, Untraceable also serves as a thrilling introduction to the world of the Factory for readers encountering this fast-paced spy series for the first time.

An undercover spy seizes the spotlight to avoid exposure in the gripping third installment of Aya de León’s award-winning Factory series.
Teen spy Amani Kendall’s first solo mission seems straightforward: to befriend Danielle, the angry, grieving daughter of a former Factory operative, and prevent her from blowing an agent’s cover and exposing the Factory—an international organization of spies safeguarding people of color—to the world. But in order to get close, Amani will have to step onstage and win a place in Danielle’s band and at the elite summer camp hosting the “Next Teen Sensation” competition. Meanwhile, the band's charming bassist falls head over heels for Amani, who is not sure whether to be flattered or overwhelmed. Add in an increasingly volatile Danielle, a nefarious billionaire sponsor, the pandemonium that surrounds a K-pop supergroup, and an industry that thrives on fatphobia and racism, and it will take all of Amani’s wits and spycraft to keep her mission on track. In a riveting companion book to Undercover Latina and Untraceable, a seasoned suspense writer explores the intersection of the personal and the political with rapid-fire intrigue.

Fourteen-year-old Andréa Hernández-Baldoquín hails from a family of spies working for the Factory, an international organization dedicated to protecting people of color. For her first solo mission, Andréa straightens her hair and goes undercover as Andrea Burke, a white girl, to befriend the estranged son of a dangerous white supremacist. In addition to her Factory training, the assignment calls for a deep dive into the son’s interests—comic books and gaming—all while taking care not to speak Spanish and blow her family’s cover. But it’s hard to hide who you really are, especially when you develop a crush on your target’s Latino best friend. Can Andréa keep her head, her geek cred, and her code-switching on track to trap a terrorist? This smart, entertaining, and politically astute novel is fast-paced Young adult fare from an established author of heist and espionage novels for adults, in a paperback edition offering discussion questions and an excerpt from the sequel in the back matter.
