As almost thirteen-year-old Ben, a student at the CIA's academy for future intelligence agents, prepares to go to spy summer camp, he receives a death threat from the evil organization SPYDER.

When the creator of a new, popular reality game is kidnapped, Abigail Hunter and her friends go on their first official mission for The Center and if they are lucky they might just save the world.

While participating in The Challenge at Briar Academy, Abby and friends learn that their nemesis is using Briar as headquarters for planning an attack, and that The Ghost has inside help.

With SPYDER apparently defeated, thirteen-year-old Benjamin Ripley is hoping for some peace at spy school, but when the CIA conference room next to where Ben and Alexander are trying to explain everything to Ben's parents (no easy task) is blown up, suspicion falls on fellow trainee (and secret crush) Erica.

"Superspy middle schooler Ben Ripley races against time and across state lines - traveling by car, train, boat and plane - to track Murray Hill down before Ben's cyber enemies can find him"--

Superspy middle schoolers Ben and Erica must embark on mission to rescue Erica's grandfather, who was abducted from a remote Alaskan training facility.
