The Higher Institute of Villainous Education

The Higher Institute of Villainous Education by, Mark Walden. ISBN-13: 978-1-4169-3572-8

H.I.V.E., The Higher Institute of Villainous Education, is a creepy and exciting place I am glad that I will never have to visit. Students are discreetly whisked from their homes and brought to this secret academy devoted to bringing out the worst in the criminal masterminds of the future. The books' main character, Otto Malpense, is a likable protagonist who only does the wrong things for the right reasons. In this, the first book in the H.I.V.E. series, Otto teams up with a few other students to try to escape from the sinister school they have been brought to. The book is funny, full of adventure, and just bad enough to be really good!
