Spy school

Ben Ripley, a typical twelve-year-old, is unexpectedly recruited by Alexander Hale, the vice president of a CIA spy school.

Ben is admitted supposedly because of his 'Level 16' math skills, but in reality, he is being used as bait to lure members of an evil organization.

As Ben navigates this new world, he must work with his new friend and crush, Erica, to save the school and himself from various threats.

The book is a blend of humor, action, and middle-school drama, marking the beginning of the popular Spy School series.
