About: 

Thirteen-year old master criminal Otto has been chosen to attend H.I.V.E. the top-secret school of villainy. 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 now.
