In this fifth of the Spy School series, Ben gets called on his first solo mission. This time he is going into White House and try to thwart plans to assassinate the president. His cover is that he is supposed to be friends with the President's son, but soon finds that the First Son is a bit of a jerk. Undeterred, he continues to look for clues and patterns, trying to figure our who the assassin is. When the attempt is made, Ben finds himself the primary suspect. With help from Erika, and ultimately from the whole Spy School gang, he discovers that the plot is much more complex and dangerous than anyone had thought.
Here is another Spy School novel. It really is the same as all the rest, but they are all fun. I guess they are a little like the old Hardy Boys; formulaic, but with enough action, humor, and appealing characters, that they are fun anyway (plus, they have a great graphic designer do their covers!). There are eight total in the series and I will probably eventually read them all. (352 p, 2017)
