A new series featuring the next generation of James Bonds kicks off. To the outside world, the New England boarding school known as Devereaux Academy looks no different than any other exclusive private school. But to first-year students, it goes by the name Spy High.
I've as big a Potter fan as the next guy on the band wagon. But (as there is always a but) this series is the best chance publishing houses have to out do Harry. I frist saw this and the second book at Walden Books and thought to give em a try, since I am a fan of espionage literature. I was blown away by the first and immediatly went into the second. I have been getting them every few months since. They are so cool!!! There are twelve books in the "Spy High" collection, divided into two series. The first series covers their training while they are all together. The second series is their individual missions after they've graduated. By far the best series I have read in quite some time. They are an easy read, farily short and just plain fun. What's best, you can start out with them one at a time and space it out over the months. I'm three books from the end and love it all.
Spy High Rocks!!

This book keeps you on the edge of your seat through the whole thing. Bond Team can't seem to get along for anything. They've failed 2 out of their 3 chances to pass this semester so far. Senior Tutor Grant decides to send them on a camping trip that quickly turns disasterous. Attacks from mutant animals, a mad scientist that's joining up with an evil group called C.H.A.O.S., and eventually Bond Team saves the world. Definently a good book.
Great book! Hope to read the rest soon! :)

Spy High at its best

This book is about a group of people selected to train to be spies on a team at a college nicknamed "Spy High". The group called the Bond Team fail a simulated test due to lack of team cooperation so the Head Master send them on a real mission. The Bond Team must stop an evil doctor named Frankenstein who is turning people into mutants that he can control as his private army. Since they have no chance at beating the stronger, more numerous mutants, the Bond Team must use the talents of the entire group to destroy Dr. Frankenstein's mind control computer. As they attempt to do so, they learn the importance of trusting each other and real life danger. I really liked this book and I couldn't put it down. I liked the fast pace of the writing and the frequent close calls in the dangerous situations. The high tech gadgets and the numerous battle scenes made the book more interesting to me. I thought it was really neat how they would defeat guards and escape from rooms and prisons. This book is similar to a book called Artemis Fowl where Artemis has to fight imaginary creatures, so if you liked that book, you'll like this one. The ending of the book was very good, because it set up the next volume in the series. Rating: 9 MY Flamingnet Book Reviews www.flamingnet.com
