About Spy School Goes Wild. . .
In the twelfth book in Stuart Gibbs’s New York Times bestselling Spy School series, superspy middle schooler Ben Ripley gets lost on a perilous mission with one of his greatest enemies.
Ben Ripley is recruited for a top secret mission to bring down his nemesis, Murray Hill, once and for all. But when things go horribly wrong, Ben ends up lost in an extremely dangerous wilderness with Murray—and confronting a new, devious enemy—with none of his friends to help him. Now, Ben must figure out how to survive and deduce what evil plan his new enemy is plotting in time to thwart it.
About Spy School Entrance Exam. . .
Solve word searches, crack codes, and complete cryptic crosswords to show the CIA that you have what it takes to join Ben and the rest of the crew on their next covert mission with this Spy School companion puzzle book.
If you are reading this letter, it means that you are an extremely special person. You have been carefully vetted by a top team of psychologists, intelligence agents, and CIA recruiters who have covertly analyzed every aspect of your personality and determined that you are one of the few students on the planet who has the potential skills, brains, and gumption to become a student at the Academy of Espionage.
The following pages contain some of the most devious, challenging, complex puzzles ever created, devised to help us determine who are the cream of the crop and then recruit them to the academy. Good luck! You’ll need it.
