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.

This book is really good. A bit under reading level, but amazing, fast-paced, and action packed

Spy School is a bit cliche, but I think it's still a good book. Ben is a bit insecure and has to prove his worth to his classmates by catching a mole from another organisation, SPYDER. Although the reading level is a bit too easy for me, I still enjoyed the book as it's fast paced and full of action, mystery and adventure. I like the way that the author made the protagonists seem like antagonists at times, so the reader can't be sure about the mole's real identity. We follow Ben as he struggles through the Academy and tries to impress a girl. All in all it's a simple and interesting book to read and spend time on, would probably recommend it to grade 4 or 5 students. Interesting read.

Spy School is definitely the best book I have read. I would recommend this book to people who like adventure, action and mystery. Benjamin, the main character in this book, goes to spy school. He wants to become a CIA agent, but doesn't know what he's in for. This book is keeps you on the edge of your seat and you feel like you can never put it down. This is most definitely a five star book!

This is one of the best books in the world! It's about a kid who is supposed to be the best new spy in the world and goes to a spy school, but it's not no James Bond there.

This book was very good. It kept me intrested the whole book. It has a lot of action and mysterty.

spy camp is a must read its one of those books you cant put down
