Spy School

In the Spy School series, the world of espionage is not all sleek gadgets and thrilling chases. For young genius Ben Ripley, it's a series of misadventures, unexpected twists, and constant learning—often in the most dangerous ways possible. What starts as a routine “tryout” for a prestigious school quickly spirals into a life-or-death game of spycraft. Ben, a socially awkward teen with a sharp mind, is thrust into a world of undercover agents, secret missions, and high-stakes intrigue, all while navigating the perils of middle school.

Each book in the series delivers a fast-paced adventure, blending humor with heart-pounding action. Ben may not fit the usual profile of a spy, but his ingenuity, determination, and heart make him a natural for the job, even if he’s often out of his element. Whether he’s foiling a plot by an international criminal organization or trying to survive a school dance, Ben’s quick thinking and resourcefulness make him the hero readers root for, even when he’s in over his head.

Spy School consists of thirteen books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of two more books. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
