Spy School at Sea is simply mind-blowing! This book has a lot of factors which affect the plot of the story, ranging from the characters from previous books to dangerous natural hazards! Another reason I love this book is because the book will test Ben’s bonds with his fellow spy mates and will also test Ben’s ability to solve this case with extraneous factors!

Spy School Goes South, is a book where spies, action, and laughs meet a gone wrong infiltration trip in Mexico. This book is for sure not short when it comes to entertaining the reader. This book definitely has to be my favorite book of the series, and one of the reasons I love this book so much is because you never know what could be coming next. There are so many twists and turns in this book, but it also incorporates laughs, making this the perfect read!
