Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not fit in or is struggling with the fallout of a major mistake. It is perfect for the pre-teen who feels misunderstood by authority figures or is navigating the gray areas of peer pressure and personal integrity. The story follows Ben Ripley, a teenage spy trainee who is expelled and subsequently recruited by a villainous organization, forcing him to decide what kind of person he truly wants to be. While the plot is a fast-paced action comedy, the emotional core explores the heavy pressure of being perfect and the isolation that comes with feeling like a failure.

The book handles themes of morality and accountability with a light touch, making it an accessible way to discuss why doing the right thing matters even when it feels like the whole world is against you.
