My Thoughts:
- I received a copy of the book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
- Ben Ripley loves James Bond, and he wants to become a spy just like him. Ben is really good at a video game that was produced by the CIA, and they have been monitoring Ben's skills. One day, Ben gets a surprise visit from an agent and recruited to spy school. Sadly, it isn't as fun as Ben thought it would be, and there is a mole amongst the students. Dun Dun Dun!
- This series has been on my radar for a while, but I haven't read any of the books, so when I received a copy of the graphic novel in the mail, I was elated. I wanted to read and review the book before it was released, but you know. . .too many books to read.
- I really enjoyed the story. Who hasn't wanted or pretended to be spy? I liked that there was a little bit of mystery, but also a lot of a middle schooler trying to fit in and figure out his strengths.
- The book is full of delightful humor. Gibbs is amazing when it comes to humor.
- The illustrations are fantastic. I loved all the facial expressions and action.
- When Gnome and I are finished with the Whatever After series, I think we are going to start the spy school series.

This does sound very fun!
ReplyDeleteIt is! I would have loved a series like this when I was younger.
DeleteSounds like a delightful book. I wanted to be a spy when I was young too. But, not James Bond, I wanted to be Harriet the Spy!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! That is awesome.
