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.

Spy school is one of my favorite books I do not want to spoil it but it has lots of action and adventure!

I really liked this book I would recommend it. This book it really fun to read and it also could make you think about things if your that type of person. I do want to thank the user Mush for letting me read it because it was his book and he is also letting me read the second book right now and I'm only on chapter three right now but from what I've read its been very good.

Spy School By:Stuart Gibbs In my book “Spy School” There’s a kid named Ben Ripley. Ben Ripley is being attacked by these assassins. The reason why they are attacking him is because of he has a symptom called cryptology. They think that Ben Ripley is a really special kid. There is this one girl named Erica Hale. She is the daughter of Alexander Hale. She wants to become a spy like her father. She is helping Ben Ripley find out who this assassin is. There is a kid named Murray. He is one of Ben’s friends. They don’t talk to each other much but they are still friends. Alexander Hale is Erica’s father. He is a spy. Erica’s dad works at the school to make sure thing stay right. Alexander Hales is a little like a bodyguard of a vice principal. Chip is the first kid that is nice to Ben. The first time Ben meets Chip he thinks they will be really good friends. Chip tells Ben to hack into the system so he figures out what cryptology is and what it means. If you like mystery books then you might like this book.This has to do with spying and other cool mysteries. I really recommend this book!
