The book bunnies are fans of Stuart Gibbs and his books. While Marshmallow has been an avid fan of Gibbs’ FunJungle books, Caramel has read and reviewed all his Spy School books. So last week, he was delighted to finally get his paws on Spy School Goes Wild, the new Spy School novel that just came out on September 24. In the post below, he shares his thoughts about this book. As usual Sprinkles is taking notes and asking questions.
Sprinkles: So Caramel, we are at book twelve now. Tell me what is going on with Ben Ripley this time.
Caramel: He is still a spy at the training facility in Alaska like in Spy School Goes North, the previous book. And he is supposed to be sent for a secret mission. The principal of his school takes him on a plane for this mission but betrays him and turns him over to Murray Hill, his arch-nemesis.
S: Well, that sounds awful.
C: It is but it gets much worse. The principal double-crosses Murray as well, and Ben and Murray are stuck in the African wilderness together. And that is not all of it, either. There is an unexpected enemy who is trying to take revenge on both of them, so they are in serious danger.
S: That sounds dangerous!
C: And it is dangerous!
S: But I am assuming our hero Ben will figure things out in the end, as he always does.
C: Ye of course, but the way he gets there is all around awesome! This was again a lot of fun to read.
S: You have been waiting for this twelfth book for some time now.
C: Yes, it has been more than eight months since I read and reviewed the eleventh book. Then I tried to wait around and read the graphic novels while waiting, but there are only three of those: Spy School: The Graphic Novel, Spy Camp: The Graphic Novel, and Evil Spy School: The Graphic Novel. It is so hard to wait!
S: I know! Especially for a little bunny like you! But the wait is over! You got a twelfth book!
C: Yay! I am excited to have the twelfth book. But-
S: What?
C: You know what I am going to say.
S: Hmm, I think I do. Go ahead; say it then.
C: I am excited to have the twelfth book. But now I read it. So I need the thirteenth book now!
S: Well, you might have to wait a bit. You know it takes some time to write a book. Even a prolific author like Stuart Gibbs will need some time to get a new book out.
C: I know, I know. But you know me, I like to always keep reading my favorite series. I guess I will simply go back and reread some of the earlier books.
S: Sounds like a good compromise to me. And there are other books out there, too. Maybe we will find a new series.
C: Maybe.
S: Okay, Caramel; this is probably a good time to wrap up this review. What would you like to tell our readers?
C: Stay tuned for more book bunny reviews!
