ZEKE BARTHOLOMEW: SUPERSPY by Jason Pinter

Twelve-year-old Zeke is mistaken for young spy Derek Lance and has to wing his way from there. It's escapist fantasy with several winks to the adult espionage genre, but Pinter maintains momentum and wit throughout.

I didn't read much outside the classroom growing up, but have been a James Bond fan since I was old enough to watch TV. If Zeke Bartholomew: Superspy had been around back then, I might have discovered the joys of reading earlier, and been better served for it.
