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.

Thanks for making this a grade 6 book because. I am a grade 6 person.

If you liked Stuart Gibbs' other mysteries, like Belly Up, and Space Case, you will like this book. It's about 12 year old Ben Ripley, who lives a normal life until one day, a spy shows up in his living room. The spy-Alexander Hale-tells him that he has been accepted to a mysterious spy school, and that he will be leaving immediately.

Great book to read.

This is a really good book, I really recommend it. As for people that haven't read it yet, here is a summary: Ben Ripley is your average nerdy teenage kid, but when a mysterious man, Alexander, arrives at his door his world turns upside down, he ends up going to a super secret spy school. When he arrives at school... Havoc breaks loose... He finds people with guns, knives and swords. Through out all of this, one thing catches his attention, a beautiful girl that literally saves him. Will Ben survive this craaaaazy school, or is he doomed to die?

This is a good book. I liked reading about all the spy mystery stuff. It was a really exciting story amd I didn't want it to end.
