Evil Spy School (Spy School #3)

by Stuart Gibbs (Author)

Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade
Series: Spy School
When Ben gets kicked out of the CIA's spy school, he enrolls with the enemy. From New York Times bestselling author, Stuart Gibbs, this companion to the Edgar Award-nominated Spy School and Spy Camp is rife with action, adventure, and espionage.

During a spy school game of Capture the Flag, twelve-year-old Ben Ripley somehow accidentally shoots a live mortar into the principal's office--and immediately gets himself expelled. 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?

It’s not a nail-biter, but it certainly is an entertaining battle between good and evil. 

School Library Journal

Gr 5-7—After getting expelled from spy school (for accidentally shooting a live mortar into his principal's office), 13-year-old Ben Ripley is recruited by SPYDER, an organization dedicated to educating the next generation of bad guys. Acting as a double agent under deep cover, Ben tries to infiltrate the evil school and uncover their nefarious plans. With tongue-in-cheek humor and a gripping pace, readers who've enjoyed Gibbs's previous novels will not be disappointed. Though this works as a stand-alone, familiarity with the other books in the "Spy School" series will make for a more satisfying read.
