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.

A great book. Especially for kids that want to be in the CIA or FBI.

I love this book. It is addicting and is one of those books you can never put down. It is about a guy named Benjamin Ripley( Ben for short) who was chosen by the CIA organization and is trained to become a spy. Although there is a mole from an evil organization who is in the spy school. The evil organization called SPYDER is trying to capture Ben after they found out about an amazing ability of his one. The CIA tries to protect Ben really well. Can the CIA protect Ben from the evil organization SPYDER?

It's got me on the edge of my seat right now and is so interesting! I highly recommend it, and think that kids in like, 4th or 5th grade would enjoy in the most though. Every page has something new and exiting happening!

it is very intense. it has a huge end with the criminal is the person you least expect

Ben Ripley, age twelve, is transferred to what seems like a boring science school, but is actually a training base for junior CIA operatives. He has to try to stay alive while trying to catch a double agent who is trying to capture him for a secret cryptography code called Jackhammer. Along the way a girl, Erica Hale (very great granddaughter of Nathan Hale), helps him catch the double agent.
