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 I wanted to read it for a long time this book is so good I can not wait to read it again.

Spy School , by Stuart Gibbs . this book was about a school that is like no other school . It's a school for spys . !

Right now I am seeped into the book! The book Spy School is about Ben(age 12) and he was sent to a science-spying academy. Now Ben needs to find out more about the school and the girl(Erica)!

Ben is a 12 year old genius. When he gets accepted into spy school, it seems too good to be true. But, after a while, he realizes just how real this is, and not in a good way. This is a must-read for everyone who enjoys reading!

This book was really good. Math genius Ben Ripley is chosen to go to a C. I. A. training school, but is mistaken to be a cryptology expert. As soon as he arrives, he finds out he is the target of a mole, and teams up with prodigy spy Erica.

Ben Ripley is a boy interested in spying. He is very happy and surprised when he gets into C.I.A's top secret Academy of Espionage. He finds that the school is very difficult, but still works it out.

This is a good book. I liked reading about the spy stuff. It is a really funny book and anyone would enjoy reading it. My brother enjoyed more than I did, but that is OK.

This is a really good spy book because the book has lot of interesting topics. Would recommend this book to everyone. I would give it 5/5 if the book had been longer.

I decided to read this book because I was going to spy camp and I thought it would be cool. I am only on the third chapter of the book. It is very good so far.
