The Spy School series follows Ben Ripley, an ordinary middle schooler who gets recruited to the CIA’s Academy of Espionage — not because he’s a natural spy, but because the agency needs him as bait for a mole. Things spiral from there, and Ben keeps finding himself at the center of increasingly dangerous missions despite his complete lack of fieldwork skills.

Stuart Gibbs writes the series with a mix of genuine suspense and comedy, making the books popular with readers who enjoy action but also want to laugh. The series has grown to over a dozen novels plus graphic novel adaptations, with each entry sending Ben to a different location — from ski resorts to cruise ships to the Arctic — while maintaining a recurring cast of friends and enemies.
