Ben was normal. He went to a normal school, lived in a normal house, ate normal foods, did normal things. He had a normal life(other than the fact that he was a math genius), until one day when a debonair spy had asked him whether he wanted to become a spy and learn at the CIA Academy of Espionage. As being a spy was Ben's dream, he accepted, oblivious to the dangers he would face only about 5400 seconds later. Ben begins to doubt his choice when he runs from enemy snipers, attacks highly trained assassins with a tennis racket, and finds out about a secret that could blow his mind....along with everyone else's.
(If you read this book you would understand that pun :P)
This book was really fun to read. Stuart Gibbs likes to entertain his readers through mystery and comedy, and excite his readers with a small drop of romance at the end of his books. It really excites you, especially when you get really giddy when it goes to romance(Yes, I get really giddy). I overall loved this series. Like when I first saw the book, I was like. Mneh(Mneh is a word from this series). And then when I started reading I was like "THIS IS SWAWESOME(Yes another word from this series)". My favorite part about this series are the endings of each book, where Ben(main character) just reveals the bad guy's entire plan and then ruins the plan and then saves the day, like it's swawesome! Read this book!!!
