About this eBook

“Combines Alex Rider’s espionage skills with a huge dose of the sarcasm of Artemis Fowl.” —School Library Journal

Can an undercover nerd become a superstar agent? In the first book in the New York Times bestselling Spy School series, 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: CIA 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 CIA academy. Could the CIA really want him?

Ratings and reviews

Amazing book I love it! The only thing is they say spring instead of bring throughout the book. I don't know if that is a typing error but it was shown multiple times throughout the book. If you could look into that it would be great there mostly at the parts where Ben was suppose to go the party with his best friend. Thanks!

This book was amazing and very enjoyable. I laughed so much reading it! I can't wait to read the rest of the series!

Best book ever it got me hooked on Stuart Gibbs books now I read the moon base alfa and spy school and there awesome
