Ben Ripley is a wiz with math who has dreamed of one day becoming a CIA agent. His wish seems to be coming true sooner than he could have believed when he is recruited to attend a secret spy academy. His dream job quickly turns into a nightmare as he finds himself in the middle of a plot that has nothing to do with wearing fancy tuxedos, or carrying high tech spy gadgets. Only his interest in the beautiful and brilliant spy school student, Erica, keeps him in the game, and out of the cross-hairs.
I am a big Stuart Gibbs fan and this one did not disappoint. Ben is an endearing nerd, and Erica is a super cool strong girl character. The school is cool too, with hidden panels, secret entrances, and a maze of a basement. Add in evil spy agencies and double agents and there is everything a spy story lover could want. If you like this one, there are 6 more in the series. (2012, 290 p.)
