Ben Ripley, a clumsy middle schooler with dreams of joining the CIA, finds himself mistakenly recruited into a secret junior spy academy. Despite his awkwardness, Ben is determined to prove he can be a top-notch agent. As he navigates a world of espionage, he faces unexpected dangers and hilarious mishaps. Will Ben's nerdy instincts help him survive the Academy of Espionage, or will his dream job remain out of reach? Dive into Ben's action-packed journey as he discovers if he has what it takes to be a real spy.

From the publisher

Can an undercover nerd become a superstar secret agent? The first book in Stuart Gibbs’s New York Times bestselling Spy School series is now a graphic novel! Ben Ripley may only be in middle school, but he’s already pegged his dream job: CIA or bust. Unfortunately for him, his personality doesn’t exactly scream “secret agent.” In fact, Ben is so awkward, he can barely get to school and back without a mishap. Because of his innate nerdiness, Ben is not surprised when he is recruited for a magnet school with a focus on science–but he’s entirely shocked to discover that the school is actually a front for a junior CIA academy. Could the CIA really want him? Actually, no. There’s been a case of mistaken identity–but that doesn’t stop Ben from trying to morph into a supercool undercover agent, the kind that always gets the girl. And through a series of hilarious misadventures, Ben realizes he might actually be a halfway decent spy…if he can survive all the attempts being made on his life! With action-packed, eye-catching art, join Ben Ripley as he survives his first year at the Academy of Espionage.
