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 the spy school series! They're so adventurous!

I think the book was pretty good.It had plenty of awesome scenes.The car chase was the best part.It had plenty of humor and many twists and turns.I was hooked.

A regular tween, Ben Ripley didn't expect to turn up living in a spy school because of his exceedingly high math skills and his so- called cryptology skills. On the first night, an assassin almost kills him. With the help of Erica, a fellow spy whose skills are phenomenal, thanks to heredity, they uncover a dangerous plan set up by the CIA to try to draw out the enemy by putting Ben as bait. This crazy adventure includes an evil organization, a traitor, Washington D.C., and a very confused spy. This book series and other books by Stuart Gibbs are just amazing. Go Stuart Gibbs!

This book is about a boy named Ben who loved to play on the CIA website. One day, he finds out that he has been recruited to be in the CIA! He then has to juggle many things, Including how to get the girl!

This book was cute and kept me entertained during school and after tests. I thought that it was a very cool book and would be good for a younger audience as well as an older audience.

This book is about young Ben Ripley. Ben is thrilled when he finds out he gets to attend spy school! But Ben finds school is much more difficult than he imagined. He finds out that he is going to be used as bait for the enemy. Now Ben has to learn quickly how to become a spy, so he can catch the double agent. This book was full of humor, and lots of surprises. I recommend this book for middle grades, ages 10-13. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
