Book Description
======
Steven "Steel" Trapp has been placed in an East Coast boarding school
for gifted kids by his FBI agent father. He soon discovers that there’s
a clubby element of the faculty and upper classmen that is very secretive
and protective. To his surprise, his friend Kaleigh arrives to board
at the school, and it isn’t long before the two realize that this is
not your normal boarding school.
It seems a select few students are recruited, while still minors, to
serve as special "translators" for the US Government. People – including
diplomats and dignitaries – will say things around kids that they wouldn’t
otherwise dare speak outside of embassies. The willing student "agent"
takes a semester abroad and ends up spying for his country.
But there are dark elements at play at the school. Foreign agents may
have penetrated the school’s secrecy and may have sleepers in place:
kids spying on future kid spies. And there is conspiracy and competition
among the elite faculty that threatens security.
As Steel and Kaleigh are recruited for their first test run – trying
to break a ring of pickpockets in a Boston hotel – things go impossibly
wrong. Betrayal and conspiracy cloud what should have been a straightforward
assignment. And all too soon, their very lives are in danger.
From School Library Journal
Grade 5û8ùAfter overcoming terrorists in Steel Trapp: The Challenge,
14-year-old Steven "Steel" Trapp returns in this second adventure by
Ridley Pearson. Steel’s FBI father has secured him a position at the
highly secretive Wynncliff Academy. The teen hopes to escape the "nerd"
label which hangs over him because of his astonishing memory skills
and is thrilled when his favorite adventurous redhead, Kaileigh, also
enrolls. It’s not long before the pair realizes that Wynncliff is not
your normal East Coast boarding school, but a training ground for future
spies. Each student has been recruited because of a unique ability,
and Steel and Kaileigh are quickly given their first mission to destroy
a ring of pickpockets.
Narrator William Dufris delivers a straightforward telling with enough
tension and suspense to hold listeners’ attention. Pearson is setting
the stage for an enjoyable series that will be popular with middle school
boys. This volume stands easily on its own and is a great choice for
reluctant readers.
