Summary: Ben goes undercover in the White House to take on a SPYDER operative determined to assassinate the president in this latest addition to the New York Times bestselling Spy School series.

Thirteen-year-old Ben Ripley has had a lot of field success despite only just beginning his second year at Spy School, something graduates rarely experience. But he’d never have survived without the help from experienced agents and his friends.

Now he’s been called in on a solo mission—and the fate of the United States of America is on his shoulders alone.

The Mission: Prevent a presidential assassination by infiltrating the White House, and locating the enemy operative. But when the president’s son is as helpful as a hamster, and a trained SPYDER agent would never appear to be up to something (they’re far too clever for that), Ben may be in over his head this time.

And when everything goes wrong, Ben must rely on his Spy School friends to save his reputation…but even friends can double-cross or be swayed to the enemy’s side.

My Thoughts: Holy crap. This was a book for the ages. I don't really know how to describe it because it was so good. I am not going to lie, realistically, I did think Spy Ski School was a little bit of a disappointment, I didn't really feel like the new character blended with the series. No doubt, it was a great book which you should read, but this book shot the last one to the moon. The excitement and the suspense was so good. Everything built one each other, and the twist, unlike the last few, was ACTUALLY UNPREDICTABLE (shocker right???) The last set of books I found myself guessing who the villain/antagonist was before hand, but this one had such a shocking ending. It was also a pretty unique book how it seemed like everyone was against Ben's side. Also, ALL YOUR QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED. Any question you had about the series will be answered (well mostly). Relationships, new characters, Ben's status as a spy, yep all covered. Stuart hit it out of the park with this one.
