Evil Spy School

Spy School #3

by Stuart Gibbs

When Ben gets kicked out of the CIA's spy school, he enrolls with the enemy. This companion to Spy School and Spy Camp is rife with action, adventure, and espionage.

During a spy school game of Capture the Flag, twelve-year-old Ben Ripley somehow accidentally shoots a live mortar into the principal's office and immediately gets himself expelled. Not long after going back to the boring old real world, Ben gets recruited by evil crime organization SPYDER.

And he accepts.

As a new student in SPYDER's evil spy school, which trains kids to become bad guys with classes like Counter Counterespionage and Laying Low 101, Ben does some secret spying of his own. He's acting as unofficial undercover agent, and it becomes quickly apparent that SPYDER is planning something very big—and very evil.

Ben can tell he’s a key part of the plan, but he's not quite sure what the plan is. Can Ben figure out what SPYDER is up to and get word to the good guys without getting caught before it's too late?

ها ها هاااا مدرسه‌ی جاسوسی شرورها😈
این قسمت اس اس با مسابقه/بازی پینت بال تو مدرسه‌ی جاسوسی شروع میشه (و بن هم به تنهایی بازی نمیکنه:|). تو بازی زویی میخواد یه توپ رنگی بزرگ به دشمن شلیک کنه تا بیشتر حریف‌ها رو شکست بده و به بن نیاز داره که محاسبه‌ها رو بکنه. بن هم کارشو خیلی خوب انجام میده، ولی وقتی میخوان توپ رو شلیک کنن، اریکا نمیذاره شلیک کنن و به وارن میگه که بجای توپ رنگی، توپ واقعی توش گذاشته و ممکن بود همه رو بکشه! ولی وارن هم که چیزی سرش نمیشه، بهرحال شلیک میکنه... و اگه بن هدف رو عوض نکرده بود، یه عالمه دانش آموز بی‌پناه کشته میشدن:(
اما جایی که شلیک شد هم که هیچ... زد دفتر مدیر رو داغون کرد! اوهوم، بله بله، همون احمق رو میگم. ولی از شانسش تو دسشویی بود و مدیر خودش چیزیش نشد😂 بجاش دفترش رفت رو هوا:/ و جنابعالی همون لحظه بن رو صدا میزنه دفترش
بن تلاش میکنه به اون بی‌عرضه بفهمونه که از قصد نبود و سعی میکرد دانش آموزا رو نجات بده، ولی اون بجای گوش دادن، بن رو اخراج کرد!
بله، بن از مدرسه‌ی جاسوسی اخراج شد. حالا باید زندگی معمولیشو ادامه بده... ولی نه! مگه اسپایدر محترم میذاره؟
این جلد،ماجرای بن تو مدرسه‌ی جاسوسی شرورهاست...👀

(نظرات من ممکن است حاوی اسپویل باشد)
میتونم بگم که این جلد، ای اس اس، یکی از جلدای موردعلاقه‌ی من از این مجموعه‌ست (میترسم تو نقدای بعدی هم همشونو بنویسم قسمت موردعلاقه‌ام😂 بخدا دست خودم نیست محشره😂) نسبت به دوتا جلد قبلی هیجان بیشتری داشت، مثلا جاهایی که بن واسه خودش تو مدرسه میگرده و هرلحظه ممکنه بگیرنش. ولی از حضور جاشوا و موری (به مقدار زیاد): خوشحال نشدم، مخصوصا زمانی که اریکا کم داشتیم (به قول یکی، کمبود اریکا😂) برعکس بعضی کتابها (مثلا مایکل وی، ولی دوست ندارم بکم بده) که داستان رو الکی کش میدن، قسمت هایی از داستان که دارن آروم پیش میرن، اصلا حوصله سربر و به دردنخور نیستن و نکته‌ها و هیجان‌های ریزی توشون هست. پس تکرار میکنم، استوارت نمیزاره حوصله‌تون سربره؛)نگران نباشین.

من خودم تا حالا همه‌ی جلدای اس اس رو فارسی خونده‌ام، واسه این میگم خیلی مهمه که از کدوم نشر بخونین. با توجه به تجربه‌ای من که 1 تا 3 رو از شهرقلم خوندم، تصمیم گرفتم که از اون نشر نخونم، علاوه‌بر اینکه اشتباه تایپیش زیاد بود، اسما رو اشتباه ترجمه کرده و بعضی قسمت‌هاش طوری بود که باید انگلیسی بلد میبودی تا کشف رمز کنی که این قرار بود چی باشه. از اون طرف، آخر جلد 3 یادداشت‌هایی به صورت نامه و ارزیابی بود که خیلی هم طنز و مهم بودن (چیزی که این جلد رو خیلی بامزه‌تر کرد) ولی پرتقال اون قسمت رو ترجمه نکرده (کسایی که پرتقال خوندن واقعا از دستش دادن): پرتقال از تو بعید بود!) واسه همین مجبوری بهتره شهرقلم بخونین این جلدو، چون اون قسمت‌هاش ترجمه شده. یا هم اصلا اگه انگلیسی بلدین از سایت
Z library
دانلودش کنین و نسخه اصلی اون قسمت رو بخونین. خیلی مهم و خنده‌دارن:)

فکر کنم دیگه حرفی نمونده (زیاد هم گفتم😂) پس فعلا بایی❤️

I think its good because Ben Ripley has been kicked out of his spy school and has to thart SPYDER's plan. He has to work under cover because SPYDER,the Jersy police, and the CIA.

[Laney · Rating 3 out of 5]

I swear. If Ben ends up with Erica after everything she did to set him up, the way she treated him, and abandoning him to blow up in Hidden Forrest when they were running away, I’m going to lose it.

Książka wpadła do mojej biblioteczki przypadkowo i do tego od razu trzeci tom. Mnie nie porwała, ale może się spodobać młodym czytelnikom, bo to książka z życia nastoletnich szpiegów, z dynamiczną akcją no i oczywiście koniecznością uratowania świata.

[Tiffany S · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a very interesting and amazing series. The tone of the story is kind of like Rick Riordan (who wrote Percy Jackson) books tone. It's light and funny, but still very very interesting and captivating. It think these kind of novels might be harder to write, because you want to have your book/series to be popular, so it has to grab the readers attention and to try not to let the reader put down the book. Suspenseful books with humongous or numerous hooks would have been easier to have readers read the whole series or to stay with the book, but with a light, funny, relaxed, and not-many-hooks series, it can be hard to keep the reader from changing a book. The book has to be interesting, original, and fascinating (like Percy Jackson, Mr.Lemoncello's library, and this series) to make a book really popular. Erica threw Ben into an undercover agent situation without even telling him. She got him expelled in the process, and of course they NARROWLY thwarted SPYDER's plans. I would recommend this book to anyone, no matter what genre you read, it's amazing.

تا اینجای کار باید بگم که این مجموعه فوق‌العاده نیست اما به شدت سرگرم‌کننده و اعتیادآوره.(البته قطعا برای نوجوون‌ها فوق‌العاده خواهد بود.)
این جلد بعد از آخرین فصل حدودا ۳۰ صفحه‌ای ادامه داره که متاسفانه انتشارات پرتقال ترجمه‌شون نکرده.
شامل گزارش سایروس، الکساندر و مدیر مدرسه در رابطه با عملکرد بن و اریکا در ماموریت، گزارش ضبط‌شده‌ از بازجوییِ بن و اریکا و... میشه. اگر می‌تونید این قسمت‌ها رو از نسخه‌ی انگلیسی بخونید چون واقعا بامزه است^^

OMG! This book was so good, I stayed up so late reading it. I could not put it down.

[J. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cannot imagine Ben being bad.
Hence, four stars.

[M.K. Laffin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Absolutely loved it! The only thing that brought down a star was the one slightly inappropriate scene on the beach🙂

[Stormi (StormReads) · Rating 3 out of 5]

This series is just fun and quirky. In this one Ben gets expelled from spy school and the evil Spyder picks him up and Ben isn't really sure what to do, he doesn't want to be evil so maybe he can find out what they are doing and let his friends know.

It's a bit silly but a fun book. There is an adult character in here that reminds me of the guy from Get Smart, accidently saves the day, and screws things up a lot...lol.

[Mia Brielle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Let me start by saying that this is the 3rd book in the spy school series and I think that it is better than the first 2. Getting into the plot didn’t take as long as the other books, it basically got going from the moment i started reading.

Also, ummm…WHY does evil spy school sound like PARADISE!?!?!? I mean living in a house with 3 other kids, an AMAZING rec center, lessons starting at noon and going till dinner? SIGN ME UP!!!

(Side note: does the principal at normal spy school get on anyone else’s nerves 😒 I mean the bro is SO incompetent!)

And can I just say, Ben and Erica, I DO NOT SHIP THEM TOGETHER!!! 😳🤢🫣 Erica is like, 3 years older than Ben, and while that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s just kinda awkward. I mean every time there’s something about it on page, I cringe 😬

[Naomi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Would rate it 3.5. This book was a quick read and a good way to end the 2021 reading challenge. It was entertaining to read but it wasn’t as good or riveting as others I have read. The develop of Ben as an agent was a good touch and it put some things into perspective and I hope the friendship between him and Erica grows as the series goes on.

[Emilia · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was another really great book in the spy school series! Lots of twists and turns in the plot which made it super interesting! Can’t wait to read more of the books that are also in the series!

[Joe · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another spy school great.
i was rather suprised at first of how they got benjamin into EVIL spy school

and (do not read because of spoilers)

later in british invasion when they meet the leader of spyder (ms.E) he says he heard that voice...
when they did not show that part in the book...

overall a great book.

[Cris · Rating 4 out of 5]

In the third book of the series Ben is kicked out of spy school and ends up joining the enemy, Spider! As he is in training with Spider he notes the differences…there are only 2 only students. Is Spider that picky? They have an awesome recreation center and a full sundae bar!

I loved the double agent bits.
Felt bad for Ben, though.

Stuart Gibbs promotes misogyny and lightens terrorism in new book! What a surprise! Wouldn't have expected it from such a terrible writer as himself!

[Joan · Rating 3 out of 5]

2.5 stars rounded up for not taking itself seriously. Our klutzy hero gets drafted against his will in a Hale family plot to find out what SPYDER is doing this time by first manipulating the principal of the school, who is actually a failed CIA agent who was resurrected as a principal cuz what else can you do with a failure in the world, to expel Ben so he could (unwittingly) infiltrate the baddies and discover their plot. This is kooky with about a zillion plot holes, none of which really matter since you really aren’t supposed to take any of this seriously. The barely smoldering romance between our hero Ben and Erica gets moved on around an inch since Erica mumbles something indicating affection for Ben while recuperating from an attack of some sort that I can’t really remember even though I read it perhaps 15 minutes ago. Ben’s friend Mike might be in danger as a security risk in the next book as hinted in the wrap up report at the end of the story. The comedy is wearing thin. I’ll have to decide whether I’m reading the next one or not later. Recommended for series fans but only read this series in order so you know the setting and characters.

1st
Evil Spy School, a fictional-humor book by Stuart Gibbs, serves as a fantastic third book in the hit series. It all starts when Ben Ripley, a second year in a top-secret school for spies, is expelled from the school because he accidentally blew up the Principal’s office while trying to save the lives of students during a capture-the-flag game gone wrong. (Long story) Ben is distraught to learn that he must now return to his boring normal life, until an old enemy named Joshua Hallal presents him with a proposition. Either Ben attends a school for training enemies of the country, or return to his normal life. Ben accepts, believing that his expulsion was faked so he could be a double agent for the CIA and hoping he can figure out the bad guy’s newest plan before it’s too late.
One of the reasons I love this book so much is that Stuart Gibbs kept me engaged all throughout the book with thrilling action sequences, thought-provoking mysteries and sparks of humor. For example, the scene where Ben fights his old bully in the cafeteria was very electrifying, even though I am not usually the kind of person who likes action and fighting. Gibb’s writing was just so powerful it was impossible not to get caught up in the action of the book. Also, another strength of this book was how much thought was obviously put into the characters and plot. For instance, instead of simply making his characters one dimensional and having the plot be like any other James Bond movie, all the characters have so many different levels and the scheme of the bad guy’s actually makes sense and is kind of genius. For instance, instead of putting the bad guy’s secret lair on some island, it was disguised as a gated community in the middle of New Jersey where nobody would think too look. It actually makes sense what they are doing, instead of some clique where the villains are trying to blow up the world. That’s lazy writing! The book also allows writers to relate to the main character even when his situation is so ridiculous. Gibb’s most genius idea in this book was to make Ben, the main character, a regular kid. He isn’t particularly athletic, but he is good-hearted and has an exceptionally big moral-compass. This allows the reader to connect with Ben and this makes the book all the more powerful to experience. Finally, I would definitely recommend this book to any classmate who is looking for a funny, action-filled read.

If I were to rate this book, I would give it a 4.6 out of 5.

This book was amazing!
I know I said this last time, but this book is even better than the last one!
This series just keeps getting better.

Something I appreciated about this book was that there were no unnecessary parts to it.
Everything contributed to the storyline, the vibe, or to developing something else.
However, despite the relative conciseness, I got the scene and felt engrossed in the experience.
The plot was well-crafted, and everything was tied up satisfyingly at the end.
The creative plot twists and Ashley's realistic turn-out also earned my respect.

Overall, I enjoyed rereading this, and I can't wait to revisit the next one in the series!
As usual, I heavily recommend the whole series.

[Angie Boyter · Rating 4 out of 5]

So glad my middle-school-aged neighbor Noah got me into this series! Good YA books can be sophisticated enough to be engaging but lack the REALLY vile violence and overly explicit sex that is so popular in adult fiction these days and that spoils my enjoyment.
The plot was decent, but I what I really liked was the fun writing, and I have lots of "Ha ha"s throughout.
I will read more of this series !

[Abby Irwin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very good book. Back to the quality of the first book! It had a new plot line and was funny as well as the development progressing well. My only complaint is that a large bit of the book is spoiled between the back of the book and the beginning letter. I'm excited to see how good the fourth book turns out to be!

[Will Andrews · Rating 5 out of 5]

in evil spy school Ben Ripply has to go under cover and find out the bad guy's (s.p.y.d.e.r) plans. this book would probably be my favorite book in the spy school series. my favorite character is nefarious jones because he has a funny personality.

[Gracie Dix · Rating 5 out of 5]

Is there something new you would like to learn? I am taking piano and voice lessons! I also think it would be a blast to go to Sky School, but not Evil Spy School!
This is another awesome book in the Spy School series. I highly recommend it!
