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!

Great series for boys!!!

It’s always difficult to find a new book for my 12 year old son. He LOVES this series - he’s gone through an audiobook every 2 nights and started listening at school during his breaks! He couldn’t wait to go to bed to listen!!!

Couldn't stop listening!

My son (10 years old) has ADHD and struggles to sit and listen to a story for a long time. He listened to the entire book in two sittings! Yikes... it must have been good!

very bloody but cool contains violence

good book but a lot of blood and killing I suggest you listen to this book with your son or daughter or if they're 10 and over I would consider letting them listen to it by theirselves in general it's a pretty good book really like it but it could use some work

Wonderful book, and series.

This book is incredible, it’s very engaging and just fun to listen to. I love the characters, and the rest of the series so far has been just as great. The performance was enjoyable as well.
