Spy School

Can an undercover nerd become a superstar agent? Ben Ripley sure hopes so-and his life may depend on it!Ben Ripley may only be in middle school, but he?s already pegged his dream job: C.I.A. or bust. Unfortunately for him, his personality doesn?t exactly scream ?secret agent.? In fact, Ben is so awkward, he can barely get to school and back without a mishap. Because of his innate nerdiness, Ben is not surprised when he is recruited for a magnet school with a focus on science-but he?s entirely shocked to discover that the school is actually a front for a junior C.I.A. academy. Could the C.I.A. really want him?Actually, no. There?s been a case of mistaken identity-but that doesn?t stop Ben from trying to morph into a supercool undercover agent, the kind that always gets the girl. And through a series of hilarious misadventures, Ben realizes he might actually be a halfway decent spy?if he can survive all the attempts being made on his life!Review"Twists and turns in the plot keep readers guessing until the very end.
