Thirteen-year-old master criminal Otto Malpense has been chosen to attend the top-secret school of villainy. His skills in Global Domination will be developed to rival the world's most dastardly villains. But there is one small catch - he cannot leave until his training is complete. There's no way Otto is going to spend six years studying something he has such a natural talent for:
He is left with one option. Escape. He just needs to figure out how.

Let this winnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jonathan and Becky - Caludon Castle
Energetic, imaginative and creative - this was a nicely paced and plotted romp which ticked all the boxes, as far as I'm concerned. A nicely executed bit of good, old-fashioned boy-vs-school adventure.

I thought the cover was eye-catching, the story was extremely descriptive. The plot line thrilled me to the very bone. Every event made me gasp in awe. It is set in the Victorian Era and very rightly so. I thought everything that happened was amazing. I was truly struck by this book. I recommend everyone to read this. Honestly, it is the best book EVER!

I love HIVE! We saw Mark Walden speak a couple of years ago and he was so cool - in the proper geeky sort of way he ought to be (anything else would have been a disappointment!) Who else would come up with a school for villains - or perhaps why hasn't it been done before?! Otto and his new mates are some of the best characters out there right now - and I recommend the series to everyone. Too right.

The first ten pages are interesting and it is quite good
