Can an undercover nerd become a superstar agent? Ben Ripley sure hopes so and his life may depend on it
Ben Ripley may only be in middle school, but he s already pegged his dream job: C.I.A. or bust. Unfortunately for him, his personality doesn t exactly scream secret agent. In fact, Ben is so awkward, he can barely get to school and back without a mishap.
