A group of unpopular students are part of a spy network inside their school. With the help of cutting-edge science, their nerdy qualities are enhanced and transformed into incredible abilities. They battle the Hyena, a former junior beauty pageant contestant turned assassin, and an array of James Bond–style villains, each with an evil plan more diabolical and more ridiculous than the last.
American, but rather funky for the younger teen. I could imagine Nat Parker reading it well, it had that sort of Artemisian feel to it, minus the MENSA angle and of course anything remotely fantasy-based. Worth offering to my Son, when I make him and he’s into secondary.
