Summary

In the tenth book in the New York Times bestselling Spy School series, Ben Ripley races against time and across state lines—by car, train, boat, and plane—to avoid his new cyber enemies and track down Murray Hill。

Ben Ripley’s longtime nemesis, Murray Hill, has put a price on Ben’s head and accused him of being at the center of a conspiracy on the internet。 Now Ben finds himself in his greatest danger yet, on the run from both assassins and conspiracy theorists。

Ben must find Murray before his machinations catch up to Ben—but with so much at stake, even some of Ben’s most trusted friends might not be at the top of their game, leaving Ben to be tested like never before。

Action, adventure, and humor run as high as ever in this latest installment of a popular series, but unlike the other books, this one takes a sudden and wonderful twist。It's test time, and like so many other kids (even those who aren't spies), Ben is anything but thrilled。 But toughing those tests is soon the least of his worries as a rumor hits the internet, and Ben is accused of being at the heart of the latest conspiracy theory。 It's open season on Ben's life as a huge reward is offered to an Action, adventure, and humor run as high as ever in this latest installment of a popular series, but unlike the other books, this one takes a sudden and wonderful twist。It's test time, and like so many other kids (even those who aren't spies), Ben is anything but thrilled。 But toughing those tests is soon the least of his worries as a rumor hits the internet, and Ben is accused of being at the heart of the latest conspiracy theory。 It's open season on Ben's life as a huge reward is offered to anyone, who can kill him。 In a high-tension attempt to stop the lunacy, Ben takes off to find his arch-enemy, but with everything going on, who knows what will happen next。This was such a refreshing wind into the Spy School world。 The author has stepped away from the usual scheme, which has dominated this series, and taken a new plot route, while keeping the action scenes as exciting as before and even adding to the humor and atmosphere。 Ben has more to deal with in new directions, and that while still handling his age old enemy, Murray。There will be those out there, who will criticize this read, thanks to it's twist into the realm of internet and disinformation。。。just because it is what it is。 But for the normal reader (who stays down-to-earth), it's clear that this adds to the story, doesn't mean anything political, and actually opens up the doors for readers to realize that everything on the internet should be investigated, considered, and re-checked more than once because。。。well, the internet is the internet and can't be taken at face value。 So, kudos to the author for attacking that bag of worms without attacking it。Fans of this series are in for another treat as they accompany Ben on yet another exciting adventure, meet old characters as well as one or two new, fever for Ben as he battles one hurdle after the other, and laugh more than every now and then the entire way through。 I received a DRC and was glad to see the exciting change。 。。。more

Spy School Project X is a action packed book about Ben and his friends being hunted down by assassins all over America and conspiracy theorists。 The cause of this? Ben's nemesis Murray Hill。 Murray Hill added a 21 million dollar bounty to Ben's head and on a website full of conspiracy theorist he gave them false information about Ben。 Will Ben and his friends survive or will they be killed by the assassins?

This opens him up to assassination attempts from all over。 It's all they can do to get out of the DC area, get help from another Hale (the fabulous analyst, Mary Hale, Cyrus' wife!), and excape in an RV。 Yes, Murray is tired of Ben thwarting him, but saying he's a lizard from outerspace who wants to take over the world is just too much。 Murray is sequestered in the Everglades, so Ben heads down that way to get him to call the hit off, but the damage has been done。 With his cover blown, Ben will have to go into the Witness Protection Program with his parents or accept a vague offer with no forthcoming details to continue with his spy career。 Which direction will he take?Strengths: This was very different from the the previous books, but was just as action packed。 The traveling is more localized and sticks to the East coast, and the cast is slightly smaller。 Of course, there is a wide range of assassins who show up only to be defeated。 There are plenty of laugh out loud lines, as well as a great shout out to writer James Ponti with the Ponti's First Maxim of Self Defense! The big draw is the ridiculous conspiracy theory that sets everything in motion。 I loved Gibbs' note at the end to students, telling them that they should investigate things they read on the internet and not just blindly believe everything! This is a great example of what could happen。 Fans will love this one, enjoy meeting Mary Hale, revel in Ben's continuing romance with Erica, and wonder what on earth is going to happen NEXT!Weaknesses: Unreasonable people are not going to understand what a clever way this is to teach young readers about conspiracy theories, even though it's done in as unpolitical a way possible。 What I really think: I'm not sure if this is the end of the series, or just a twist。 It could go either way。 At any rate, Ben's future adventures will be very different, but will probably include Erica。 There will be students who want this on the very first day of school even though it doesn't come out until September! 。。。more

eARC provided by EdelweissI absolutely loved reading this book。 This was a book full of action and adventure! Ben and his close friends had to defeat old and new enemy's as well as meet new characters along the way! Murray is back to his evil schemes on getting rich, but this time it's personal。 There are so many action packed scenes and I'd recommend this book to any Stuart Gibbs fan as well as anyone looking for a good book filled with action, adventure, spying, and a bit of romance! eARC provided by EdelweissI absolutely loved reading this book。 This was a book full of action and adventure!

Thanks so much to Stuart Gibbs and Edelweiss for an eARC in exchange for an honest review!Another fantastic addition in the Spy School series! In this latest installment, Ben finds himself caught in the middle of a conspiracy against him, engineered by none other than his nemesis, albeit a fairly unintimidating one, Murray Hill。 Gibbs once again outdoes himself, crafting together action and adventure, Ben's hilarious commentary, and some of the more touching sentiments of the bonds between him a Thanks so much to Stuart Gibbs and Edelweiss for an eARC in exchange for an honest review!Another fantastic addition in the Spy School series!

Another solid entry into the Spy School series! I think the "evil plot" is particularly important in this one。 Murray is using fringe groups and conspiracy theorists on the Internet in his pursuit of revenge on Ben。 The reader sees just how easy it is for lies and misinformation to spread。 While there are some silly and ridiculous elements to this, the discussion of why it works is essential to readers in the target age groups。 As a librarian, I really appreciate the ability to use this as part Another solid entry into the Spy School series!

I really like the Spy School series! I was very excited to receive and ARC for the latest book in the series。 I also think this was my favorite one so far。So Spy School in a nutshell is about Ben who was recruited to what he thought was a math and science school but was actually a spy school。 They were using him to flush out a mole and since he survived the ordeal they couldn’t let him go back to regular school so they keep him…lol。Ben pretty much accidently gets the bad guy every time with the I really like the Spy School series!

Gibbs flips the game boardThanks to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster Canada for an advanced review copy of Spy School Project X。 Spy School novels have a formula。 We have Ben Ripley, a gifted kid who achieves excellent results by not being stupid, Ben's friends who are well-intentioned and sometimes competent, and the ever-expanding dysfunctional Hale family made up of the World's worst spies, who believe themselves to be the World's best spies, including toothsome teen sisters Erica and Trixie Gibbs flips the game boardThanks to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster Canada for an advanced review copy of Spy School Project X。 Spy School novels have a formula。 We have Ben Ripley, a gifted kid who achieves excellent results by not being stupid, Ben's friends who are well-intentioned and sometimes competent, and the ever-expanding dysfunctional Hale family made up of the World's worst spies, who believe themselves to be the World's best spies, including toothsome teen sisters Erica and Trixie Hale。 Gibbs picks a setting (frequently this is the site of a vacation or a sight-seeing visit he made), then makes up a silly James Bond-esque plot to play out there, with jokes! The main questions one asks on picking up a new Spy School book are "Where will it happen?" and "How will character relationships change?" At the end of the previous novel (Spy School at Sea) Erica and Ben became boyfriend and girlfriend, so we were expecting to see that play out in book 10。 (And of course I'm not going to tell you what happens with that。)To me, however, the big question was what would happen to the formula。 It seemed to be getting a bit tired。 Book 8, Spy School Revolution felt decidedly "Meh。。。" to me。 Spy School at Sea recaptured a little of the magic, but still was not as funny as the first book。 Now, there was no pressing need to change the formula。 Spy School has an army of devoted followers (I am one -- I have read every one of the books) and new releases regularly rack up 4。8-star average ratings on Amazon。 Why not continue to give the readers what they so evidently want? Why not milk this cow?Well, score one for artistic integrity! Apparently Gibbs realized he was getting into a rut and took action to boost himself out of it。 He doesn't say exactly this, but in an Author's Note at the end he writes。。。 in the first nine Spy School books, the evil plots of the bad guys have all been riffs on the sort of ridiculous, over-the-top evil schemes of James Bond villains 。。。 But when the time came to think about book ten, I realized that there were actual, real-world issues that would make for good plots as well。 So in chapter one he blows everything up (literally)。 The Spy School novels will never be the same again。 (At least I hope not, because this is SO much better。) Now, to allay the fears of avid Spy School fans, I hasten to add that Project X is still a Spy School novel。 It still stars Ben and his friends and the Hale family, along with comically inept nemesis Murray Hill。 The result is a novel that is simultaneously much more serious and much funnier than previous Spy School novels。 It is more serious because of those real-world issues he alludes to, which, to avoid spoilers, I will not identify。 It is funnier because the jokes are more frequent and better。 I don't know why that is, but I speculate that Gibbs was enthusiastic about this new direction, and inspired to be funnier。Warning: when this is released, I predict that we will see politically motivated negative reviews on Amazon。 ;-[ 。。。more

I received a review copy from Edelweiss, and when I got it I could not put it down。 This book had way more suspense than the last nine, which made it way more enjoyable。 I really like how this book created a new future for the series due to the big changes that happened in the book。 I really enjoyed the character development, especially with Erica, and that we got to meet a new Hale。 I really appreciate how Stuart Gibbs gives each of his books its own style or theme that makes it different from I received a review copy from Edelweiss, and when I got it I could not put it down。 This book had way more suspense than the last nine, which made it way more enjoyable。 I really like how this book created a new future for the series due to the big changes that happened in the book。 I really enjoyed the character development, especially with Erica, and that we got to meet a new Hale。 I really appreciate how Stuart Gibbs gives each of his books its own style or theme that makes it different from the others。 He has done a swasome job (as Ashley might say) on this masterpiece。 。。。more
