HIGHER INSTITUTE OF VILLAINOUS EDUCATION Otto Malpense may only be thirteen years old, but so far he has managed to run the orphanage where he lives, and he has come up with a plan clever enough to trick the most powerful man in the country. He is the perfect candidate to become the world's next supervillain. That is why he ends up at H.I.V.E., handpicked to become a member of the incoming class. The students have been kidnapped and brought to a secluded island inside a seemingly active volcano, where the school has resided for decades. All the kids are elite; they are the most athletic, the most technically advanced, and the smartest in the country. Inside the cavernous marble rooms, floodlit hangars, and steel doors, the students are enrolled in Villainy Studies and Stealth and Evasion 101. But what Otto soon comes to realize is that this is a six-year program, and leaving is not an option. With the help of his new friends: an athletic martial-arts expert; a world-famous, beautiful diamond thief; and a spunky computer genius -- the only other people who seem to want to leave -- can Otto achieve what has never been done before and break out of H.I.V.E.?Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Mark WaldenPublisher: Simon & Schuster Books for Young ReadersPublished: 05/22/2007ISBN: 9781416935711Pages: 320Weight: 0.88lbsSize: 8.34h x 6.11w x 1.13dAward: Massachusetts Children's Book Award - Honor BookAward: Grand Canyon Reader Award - NomineeReview Citations: Publishers Weekly 04/23/2007 pg. 52Kirkus Review - Children 05/01/2007 pg. 458Booklist 04/01/2007 pg. 53Voice of Youth Advocates 06/01/2007 pg. 169 - Recommended - ReadableSchool Library Journal 06/01/2007 pg. 164Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 07/01/2007 pg. 488 - RecommendedHornbook Guide to Children 07/01/2007 pg. 359 - Below Average, With Minor FlawAccelerated Reader Quiz #/Name: 116369 / H.I.V.E.: Higher Institute of Villainous EducationReading Level: 7.5 / Interest Level: Middle Grade / Point Value: 12
