Suspending disbelief for this one; it starts by the 12yo protagonist going home from school to find a strange man has let himself into his house and when the man tells him he‘s been accepted into spy school - which he‘s never heard of - and to pack up to leave now, he goes with him. Well, I suppose it‘s a kids‘ book after all.
This book is really exiting. I am only on page 13,and I am on the edge of my seat. There is some really good detail in this book, that help me visualize what is happening to Ben, and what he is doing.
pickSpy School is about a kid named Ben who is sent to spy school. He finds out that becoming a spy is harder than he thought. In school, he makes quite a few friends, but also a handful of enemies. The book is full of twists and red herrings. A big theme in this book is to never trust anyone, and it is present in the students Ben interact with. If you like books that contain a mix of mystery, action, and twists, then this book is for you.
panBack to school so trying to find books to put on my bookshelves for the kids. Could not read the last three chapters. I know these are YA but they are boring YA! No true character traits, now that I think of it, I couldn‘t tell you what the main character looks like. Maybe this is why Harry Potter is so great, we all knew who Harry was and what he looked like by Chapter 2!! Writing a great story is an art😀
Reading this one before I give it to one of the kiddos for Christmas while watching the Falcons game today.
pickDoesn't matter how many times I read this, I laugh every single time.
