Setting:

This book takes place all over the USA, and takes place around modern times. This book is the 10th in the “Spy School” series, that follow the adventures of a teenage boy, named Benjamin Ripley, or Ben for short. The genres of this book are adventure and mystery.

Plot:

Ben is approaching the end of his second year at spy school, and hopes to just live past the exams. He, however, does not expect for parts of the campus explode, does not expect to find out there are master assassins after him, and does not expect to be running for his life, again. The man behind all this chaos is Ben’s archnemeses, Murry Hill. Murry has offered twenty million dollars to kill Ben. But that’s not it. He has also started an internet conspiracy, posing as the mysterious “X”, giving false information about Ben and his friends. Ben must get to Murry, even with some of his friends not in top shape, and have him call off the hit.

Recommendation:

This book is so FUNNY! The internet conspiracy spirals out of control, and somehow ends up with Ben being an alien shape-shifting lizard. I know, it makes no sense. The assassins are sometimes good at their job, but other times extremely bad. There are some funny parts in how they defeat the bad guys, including one with watermelons. I very highly recommend this book, but read the other ones first.
