I recently finished reading the book Spy School
by: Stuart Gibbs. The story is about a 12 year old 7th grader named Ben
Ridley, who gets drawn into the world of the CIA when a student at their top
secret school gets killed, and he takes his place. Ben always wanted to be a
spy, and thought it was amazing that the CIA wanted him to join. But soon he
found out that he was just bait to catch a mole in the school, and that his
life is in terrible danger! On top of that, if the mole is caught, he'll
probably get sent back home! His only chance to stay a junior spy is to uncover
and stop the mole's despicable plans.
I really hope this isn't the last book in the series. I
won't tell you if he defeats the mole, but I will tell you that the mole is the
only villain that they name in the book. But there are higher ups. The book
leaves a lot of suspense at the end, so I hope the author makes another book.
If you read about this book, then you probably think that spy school will be
like Hogwarts or something like that. If you think that, you are wrong. Spy
school is more of a military training base. Everything is cement. I'm not sure
that was the right move to make. I think it would have been more interesting if
they took the crazy high-tech route. It sounds like it's going to be a little
funny, but it's not. It is actually a dark book. There are a few moments where
you couldn't stop laughing, and a few characters that you can't get out of your
mind, and a few that never cracked a joke and go straight to the trash can of your
brain. While reading this book, prepare to be engrossed and slightly
disappointed.
