Rating: 4 stars

Reader: Oliver G.

Spy School British Invasion by Stuart Gibbs is the 7th book in the Spy School series where Ben Ripply, Erica Hale, and Catherine Hale (Erica’s Mom) go to the U.K to try and put an end to the CIA’s rival organization SPYDER. Highly recommend reading the previous books in order to get backstory on all the characters and organizations. Before they travel to the U.K the CIA needs to rescue Ben from being stuck in Mexico. I really enjoyed this book because every page was different whether it being a different event, a different character, it was always different keeping you interested. The introduction of new characters was super exciting as well. This book was really interesting addressing a lot of themes such as love, friendship, sacrifice, danger, and so many others. The one thing I didn’t like was the pace of the book. I felt like it wasn’t very steady. It would be super fast and interesting at some points then be slow but still interesting at others.  I would recommend this book to middle schoolers and up. It was a really good book, just violent at some points which is why I wouldn’t recommend it to younger audiences.

Spy School Revolution by Stuart Gibbs

Rating: 4.5 Stars

Spy School Revolution by Stuart Gibbs is the 8th book in the series where Ben Ripply and his family are told that they need to go into Witness protection after Ben destroyed the CIA rival organization SPYDER. While the CIA agent and Ben’s family were talking they were bombed by someone you would not expect. To find out more about what SPYDER is read the series in order. Every event that happened was amazing; also giving some educational history. The characters were incredible displaying multiple themes and challenges. I could not stop reading this book, I would be up late reading and reading until I got to the end. The one thing I didn’t like was that they left with a huge surprise that I did not expect. Spy School Revolution was different from every other book in the series which made it way more interesting. This book is a little bit of a trickier read than other books in the series but I would recommend it to anyone 11 years old and up. Although it is more of a harder read, Spy School Revolution is a great book and if someone is a strong reader then this is a perfect book for them.

Spy School at Sea by Stuart Gibbs is the 9th book in the Spy School Series, about Ben Ripply and his partners attempting to stop Murray, his old friend and now enemy. Ben, Erica, Mike, Catherine (Erica’s Mom), and Alexander (Erica’s Dad) are undercover as a family on The Emperor of Seas (the biggest cruise ship in the world) where the CIA believed Murray was hiding. Murray and Ben go back all the way to the beginning of the series which I recommend you start reading there. Also If you liked this book as much as me don’t worry there are 9 others to read.  Reading it was very amazing considering how mysterious this book is and always keeps you on your toes. The way the characters are described make you seem like you’ve known them for your whole life. Not once did this book fail to keep me interested through the dialogue, the clues, the drama, the events, the new characters, etc. The only thing I disliked about this book was the cliffhanger at the end left me wanting the next book instantly .

Overall this book was amazing and I would recommend it to any level of readers regardless of age this whole book series would be a delight to read.
