Book: Spy Camp

Author: Stuart Gibbs

Age Range: 8-13

Official Summary: 

 Ben Ripley is a middle-schooler whose school is not exactly average—he’s spent the last year training to be a top-level spy and dodging all sorts of associated danger. So now that summer’s finally here, Ben would like to have some fun and relax. But that’s not going to happen during required spy survival training at a rustic wilderness camp, where SPYDER, an enemy spy organization, has infiltrated the spies’ ranks. Can Ben root out the enemy before it takes him out—for good?

 What I think: 
Another great book by Stuart Gibbs. Ben is back, and better than ever. He has survived his first year at the Academy of Espionage, working really hard, and then, he has to go to summer school. But then a note from SPYDER, the evil organization dedicated to causing chaos and mayhem full time, derails everything.

As always, Stuart Gibbs puts surprising turns and twists, keeping you wanting more. He nicely delivers the growth  of his characters, along with a surprise from Erica's family.

Like the first book, Gibbs makes this book enjoyable for all ages. There is no use of language, only that most of the adults are made out to not be very smart. This is a good book for reluctant readers, or if you are looking for a great series to get into.

First Chapter of Spy School Fan-fiction

Hi everyone! this is my first fan-fiction, and it is of the Spy School Series. It takes place right after the newest book, Spy School Goes South. Please tell me if you think it's good, and what I should fix. Side Note: The review of a book will be up tomorrow. Second Side Note: I copied and pasted from google docs, and the formatting is all different. The first paragraph is to close together, but other than that, it's fine. A/N:  These are not my characters. All characters belong to Stuart Gibbs (besides one or two characters I'll introduce later). Also,  SPOILER ALERT!!!!!! If you haven't read all the books, this will spoils parts of them for you. Ok, I even edited the SSBI cover to look more like my fan-fiction. Anyhow, please Enjoy!

Spy School: Secret Service

Book: Spy School: Secret Service Author: Stuart Gibbs Age Range: 8-13 Official Summary: Thirteen-year-old Ben Ripley has had a lot of field success despite only just beginning his second year at Spy School, something graduates rarely experience. But he’d never have survived without the help from experienced agents and his friends. Now he’s been called in on a solo mission—and the fate of the United States of America is on his shoulders alone. The Mission: Prevent a presidential assassination by infiltrating the White House, and locating the enemy operative. But when the president’s son is as helpful as a hamster, and a trained SPYDER agent would never  appear  to be up to something (they’re far too clever for that), Ben may be in over his head this time. And when everything goes wrong, Ben must rely on his Spy School friends to save his reputation…but even friends can double-cross or be swayed to the enemy’s side. What I thought:  This one was great.

Not long after going back to the boring old real world, Ben gets recruited by evil crime organization SPYDER. And he accepts. As a new student in SPYDER’s evil spy school, which trains kids to become bad guys with classes like  Counter  Counterespionage and Laying Low 101, Ben does some secret spying of his own. He’s acting as unofficial undercover agent, and it becomes quickly apparent that SPYDER is planning something very big—and very evil. Ben can tell he’s a key part of the plan, but he’s not quite sure what the plan  is . Can Ben figure out what SPYDER is up to—and get word to the good guys without getting caught—before it’s too late? What I think: Oh, Ben. First you get yourself kicked out of school. T
