What this book is about
Twelve-year-old Ben Ripley is recruited to the CIA's spy school — not because they think he's talented, but because they want to use him as bait to catch a mole. Stuart Gibbs's MG comedy-spy-thriller series is fast, funny, and accurately self-aware about how absurd the premise is. An excellent choice for middle-grade readers who want adventure with brains and humor.
