Caramel reviews Evil Spy School by Stuart Gibbs

Caramel is going through the Spy School novels by Stuart Gibbs one by one and reviewing them for the book bunnies blog. Today he is talking to Sprinkles about the third book: Evil Spy School, first published in 2015.

Sprinkles: So Caramel, here we are, talking about yet another Spy School book.

Caramel: Yep, this is the third book. I think there are a few more.

S: I think there are eleven in all so far.

C: So I have eight more to go.

S: Yes, that sounds about right. I don’t think these later books have the graphic novel versions just yet.

C: I don’t think so. But as soon as those show up, I will need to review those too.

S: I can see that. Okay, so this third book is called Evil Spy School. Why? Can you tell us a bit about what this book is about?

C: Ben is thrown out of his original spy school and so he enters SPYDER’s school.

S: Wait, isn’t SPYDER the evil organization that Ben was fighting against earlier?

C: Yes.

S: So why is Ben changing sides?

C: Well, they kicked him out of the other school.

S: Wait. The CIA was behind the original Spy School. So who is behind SPYDER?

C: It’s a secret.

S: I see. Are there any new characters?

C: Yes. There are at least two people that are new: Ashley Sparks and Nefarious Jones are the ones I remember.

S: Okay. So who are those?

C: They are both students at the evil spy school. Nefarious Jones sits on the couch all day playing video games, and he is not a very nice person really. Ashley Sparks was kicked out of the Olympics so decided to turn evil. I am not sure I totally got her reasoning, but she seems a bit weird. She actually seems to enjoy being evil.

S: I see. So does Ben become friends with these people?

C: Yes and no. But I am not going to say much more because otherwise I will give away some of the plot.

S: What did you like about Evil Spy School most?

C: The fact that Ben figures out the plot again.

S: Why?

C: Because I think that this was a good ending to the mystery.

S: Hmm, I see. I guess you cannot say much more without giving more away. So how about describing the book? How would you do that it using three to five words?

C: Action packed, funny, and spy-full.

S: That sounds like the book just hit the spot for you. Did it also make you want to continue to read the rest of the series?

C: Yes yes yes! I am ready for book four!

S: Okay, then, let us wrap this up so you can dive right into that one. So what do you want to tell our readers?

C: Stay tuned for more book bunny reviews!
