A step up in reading level from some of the other books on my list, the Stuart Gibbs Spy School series gives readers looking for mystery and adventure something to sink their teeth into. Young readers will feel like secret agents as they trail Ben Ripley, a nerdy middle grade student, as he spies and sleuths his way through what turns out to be a CIA junior academy. I like the way the books move along quickly, like a Dan Brown novel, and also keep the humor flowing.

From David's list on kids with a touch of mystery and adventure.
