Waiting on Wednesday features Spy School the Graphic Novel by Stuart Gibbs. While most of Stuart Gibbs' books are popular, this series is by far the most popular. I am eager to see how his fans respond as I have noted that many GN adaptations don't have the same appeal for some reason. Here's the publisher synopsis if you need it and if you click on the link to the image to visit the book's page on the publisher's website, there's a link to preview the art. I find it appealing. I'm psyched.
Publisher synopsis: Can an undercover nerd become a superstar secret agent? The first book in Stuart Gibbs’s New York Times bestselling Spy School series is now a graphic novel!
Ben Ripley may only be in middle school, but he’s already pegged his dream job: CIA 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. Because of his innate nerdiness, Ben is not surprised when he is recruited for a magnet school with a focus on science—but he’s entirely shocked to discover that the school is actually a front for a junior CIA academy. Could the CIA really want him?
Actually, no. There’s been a case of mistaken identity—but that doesn’t stop Ben from trying to morph into a supercool undercover agent, the kind that always gets the girl. And through a series of hilarious misadventures, Ben realizes he might actually be a halfway decent spy…if he can survive all the attempts being made on his life! With action-packed, eye-catching art, join Ben Ripley as he survives his first year at the Academy of Espionage.
