Spy School British Invasion

Joey R. - ***Spoiler Alert*** The book that I am doing a review on is called Spy School: British Invasion by Stuart Gibbs. This book is about a group of outlaws and they are trying to prove their names while also trying to get the evil organization, SPYDER arrested. They were framed for wrecking museums and different buildings. I learned from this book that people can change their minds when confronted with the reality of the situation. I liked the book and connected to it because it is a very suspenseful and cool story. For example their were a lot of double agents that suddenly switched sides. The setting was very cool because it had a lot of sightseeing places in it. In the setting there were a lot of historical landmarks that had different purposes than what people thought. They were made as lookout towers that don’t actually look like lookout towers. I think that Stuart Gibbs put these parts in the setting so it would show that things aren’t actually always what you think they are. For example the Eiffel Tower is actually a big antenna that transmits secret messages. For another example Tower Bridge is actually a spy hideout. Also in the catacombs there were secret entrances into houses. In one of the houses there is a woman who is called Mr. E that is the leader of the SPYDER organization. I think that Stuart Gibbs included this scene in the book to show that a woman is just as good as a man and sometimes even better. For an example, in the book “Mr. E” says that boys do not expect girls to be the leader of organizations so that way she can stay under the radar and she was able to sneak into the meetings dressed as a maid. This is an amazing book and I would give it 5 out of 5 stars.
