Publisher's summary

Can an undercover nerd become a superstar agent? Ben Ripley sure hopes so - and his life may depend on it!

Ben Ripley may only be in middle school, but he's already pegged his dream job: CIA or bust. Unfortunately for him, his personality doesn't exactly scream "secret agent". In fact Ben is so awkward, he can barely get to school and back without a mishap. Because of his innate nerdiness, Ben is not surprised when he is recruited for a magnet school with a focus on science - but he's entirely shocked to discover that the school is actually a front for a junior CIA academy. Could the CIA really want him?

Actually, no. There's been a case of mistaken identity - but that doesn't stop Ben from trying to morph into a supercool undercover agent, the kind that always gets the girl. And through a series of hilarious misadventures, Ben realizes he might actually be a halfway decent spy...if he can survive all the attempts being made on his life!

I get a kick out of these books

Simple. Maybe not for adults but I thought they (the series) were really fun. A bit tongue in cheek maybe.

Entertaining quick listen

The story has enough to keep us entertained and the comedy was rightly time. Some of the events were a little too over the top, so I have to say I prefer Teddy who lives at Fun Jungle and his adventures.

I loved the amazing plot twist

I think that Erica should have missed Ben at the end and then confess that she liked him the whole time
