Project X (Spy School) by Stuart Gibbs - ESSENTIAL

 Project X (Spy School) by Stuart Gibbs, 352 pages. Simon, 2022. $18

 Content: G (mild danger) 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

 Murray Hill, Ben’s nemesis, is supposed to be in a maximum security prison, but Ben is not so sure. Someone is trying the kill Ben, again, and how could Murray orchestrate that rom prison? It will take all of the Hales, all of Ben’s friends and Ben’s ingenuity (or luck) to thwart the latest plot.

I love how Gibbs uses Internet conspiracy theory lovers as a plot point in his latest. While he might exaggerate the power the head trolls hold over their followers (or maybe not), it still feels like it could be all too real. Ben and his friends have another grand adventure in store! Default White here. Ethnicity plays no role in anyone’s actions, thoughts, or motives.
