Book Review By Michael Jung
Our Man Weston by Gordon Korman

Sidney Weston is a boy obsessed with uncovering conspiracies, to the embarrassment of his twin brother Tom Weston. When the boys get jobs as bellboys at an exclusive hotel, Sidney becomes convinced that one of the guests is a spy out to steal secrets from a nearby airbase, much to Tom's disgust. However, the hotel does contain a spy, who ironically is the only guest Sidney doesn't suspect. As Sidney investigates, his efforts upset guests and endanger the twins' jobs. Meanwhile, the real spy and his lackey carry out their plan, not realizing the threat Sidney's bumbling efforts pose.
