Spy School | Stuart Gibbs (Author)

"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?   BISAC Categories: Comics & Graphic Novels - Action & Adventure Comics & Graphic Novels - Mystery & Detective Spies & Spying Action & Adventure - General School & Education Law & Crime Mysteries, Espionage, & Detective Stories Social Themes - New Experience
