Like many kids, Ben Ripley imagines life as a secret agent would be pretty awesome -- so when he learns he's been recruited to the C.I.A.'s top secret Academy of Espionage, it sounds too good to be true.  And it is.  From the moment he arrives -- and ends up in the middle of an enemy attack -- Ben finds Spy School is going to be far more difficult, dastardly and dangerous than he expected.  Even worse, he soon discovers that he hasn't been recruited to become a top agent; instead, he's been brought in as bait to catch a devious double agent.  Now, Ben needs a crash course in espionage so that he can catch the mole, prove his worth -- and get the girl.  It won't be easy, but it'll be a very fun -- and very funny -- ride.

I love this book. This book is about a kid who is really awesome at math and gets recruited by the C.I.A. to be a spy. He goes on missions to overcome SPIDER (an organization). This book is amazing due to the amount of cliffhangers the author leaves you in the book and for the next book. Overall, I give this a 5 star/5 star and recommend this book to any around the ages of 9 and up.

This book is REALLY good. Plot twists, intense, funny, keeps you on the edge of your seat, wanting more, mystery/ mysterious, and much more, isn't that want you want in a book. I just couldn't put it down.

this book by Stuart Gibbs was AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Stuart couldn't have done ANYTHING better (except for EVIL spy school) . I recommend this book to EVERYBODY ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for fans of Ungifted by Gordan Korman, this intense mystery captivates readers into the world of esponage. Ben Ripley is a new recruit designed as bait to find a mole sent into the school. there wasn't much language but what was there didnt need to be there. this book is really exciting and a novel that forces you to read late into the night.

Ben starts out as this Flemming (James Bond Director) guy and he is just leading a normal life before a spy shows up in his living room and his life changes. He goes through this great adventure and he helps take down a bad guy in the process he makes friends (Erica and Zoey) and discovers he's pretty brave. I loved this book and this series please read it!

This book is an interesting and funny book about a boy named Ben who learns that he's been invited to a spy school, but only to be used as a bait to catch someone else. He proves that he can catch the agent, and prove that he's worthy to be part of the academy.

Nice book. It's about this boy named Ben. When I first saw the book title "Spy School", I got excited because it sounded mysterious. 4/5. It's not a book I would recommend, but other people might. I hope you enjoy the story!

Spy School is a great adventure book and recommend it. It is about a boy who is highly intelligent and is a math wiz. He gets an admission into a school where they teach you how to a be a spy. He must also catch a "mole". Read this book to find out what happens.

I really enjoyed reading this book! I constantly re-read it and can't put it down. Ben Ripley is a normal kid except that he is a genius at math. So the CIA comes to Ben's house and recruits him to join their spy school. Ben is excited ( no duh! who wouldn't ? ) because being a spy how awesome is that ! Then Ben learns that spy school is not as easy as it seemed, and ,oh yeah, people are trying to kill him. I really love this book it is one of my favorites.

Ben thought that being spy would be amazing but when he is recruited into one he discovers that its very dangerous and there he is determined to prove himself...
