Spy School Revolution is an amazing tale, which doesn’t only include the current world, and has future technologies, but this novel also dives into the past and what could've been. This book also has lots of action which keeps the pages turning and will have you constantly grinning and smiling as you read. Another reason I love this book is because the unpredictable will always happen, and you will never know what could be coming next.
