Description

<b>“Combines Alex Rider’s espionage skills with a huge dose of the sarcasm of Artemis Fowl.” —<i>School Library Journal </i></b><br> <br><b>Can an undercover nerd become a superstar agent? In the first book in the <i>New York Times </i>bestselling Spy School series, Ben Ripley sure hopes so—and his life may depend on it!</b><br><br>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?
