When Ben gets kicked out of the CIA’s spy school, he enrolls with the enemy. During a spy school game of Capture the Flag, twelve-year-old Ben Ripley somehow accidentally shoots a live mortar into the principal’s office—and immediately gets himself expelled. Not long after going back to the boring old real world, Ben gets recruited by evil crime organization SPYDER. And he accepts. As a new student in SPYDER’s evil spy school, which trains kids to become bad guys with classes like Counter Counterespionage and Laying Low 101, Ben does some secret spying of his own. He’s acting as unofficial undercover agent, and it's going to take all of his wits and training to gather information about SPYDER's plans while keeping his true allegiance a secret—especially when those plans turn out to be far more sinister than anyone imagined.
