Spy High Mission One A J Butcher 9780316737609 Books Reviews

This series is definitely one for those who enjoy books such as the Alex Rider series and other spy books. Set in a futuristic setting, Deveraux Academy is not justthe elusive high school as it seems it's much more. A high school (rightly nick-named Spy High) that trains students as (you guessed it) spies, to be exact. The Bond Team students have been hand picked and marked to succeed- but will the differences of its six members make things worse when they are put into a real (non-holographic) situation? The characters are enjoyable and easy to relate to- and even though it can be a bitsy predictable at times, the books' fast-pace, energy, characters, and thrill make up for it. And I for one, enjoyed this series quite a lot. )
I first discovered this series in elementary school, as an 8 year old girl, while flipping through the book fair flyer, and when I saw it I knew I immediately needed to read it. This book had me up at night reading, and begging my mom to take me to the bookstore to get me the next book. I was totally hooked, and after I read this my real joy for reading developed. It doesn't take too long to really get going, and the storyline is entertaining but not too difficult to follow.

I credit A.J. Brown with opening me up to the wonder of the library, and I definitely think its a great pick for kids/teens/even adults! I've re-read and never come up with any other opinion.

Read this book, buy it for your kids!
I stumbled into this book looking for something for my classroom library. Several of my better readers had just finished up the Alex Rider series leaving them to want more. This series fit the bill. This group of boys were totally sucked into this series from the first chapter! I started reading them as well and complete understood why my boys continued to ask me to buy the next book in the series. This book (as well as the entire series) is a must have for an upper elementary or middle school classroom library.
When Jake, Ben, Lori, Eddie, Cally, and Jennifer are invited to the illustrious and exclusive Devereaux Academy, they don't know what they're signing up for. The Academy is a cover for a covert training facility, affectionately known as Spy High where young "students" are trained to be spies. The six are assigned to the Bond Team, but where the other teams seems to be coming together, Bond Team has some difficulty working as a team. Ben is too concerned with being a hero, Lori can't seem to say no to Ben (yeah, she's the lamest of the characters), Jennifer is too ready to jump into a fight, Jake is resentful of Ben's snobbery, Cally has no faith in herself, and Eddie can't take things seriously. In an attempt to get them to click, they are sent on a camping trip. The camping trip turns out to be anything but singing songs around a fire and they must use all their wits and training to survive.

Surprisingly, despite there being so many characters to follow, we get a pretty good idea of who everyone is. Not everyone gets quite the same amount of attention (Lori, Eddie, and Jennifer get the least while Ben, Jake, and Cally get the most), but even so we get to know each of them. It is most unfortunate that we don't get to know more about Jennifer, since she apparently has some sort of secret and seems interesting. Anyone hopping for a fight must have some interesting backstory, right?

Book one did a good job of setting up a larger story (specifically an organization called CHAOS) while establishing the different kids. I would have liked Lori to be more complex (right now she seems to just be the pretty face she doesn't want to be with no specific skills to contribute to the team) and I am surprised that before they voted for team leader they weren't given a speech about how scores aren't everything when it comes to leadership.

I would also like to know how things work when they graduate. For example, do you work with the teams you train with? Does the bigger spy organization have a name? How does Devereaux get his intel? Some or all of these things may be revealed later in the series, so it is hard to complain about it just yet.
Just as described, thank you.
