A New York Times bestselling series and now a hit TV show on Disney+, this is the perfect fantasy adventure series for readers aged 9+ and fans of Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Murder Most Unladylike!
The adventure begins with a very peculiar advertisement: a call-out for children who want to take part in a super secret mission. But first, they will have to pass a series of mysterious tests, and only a select number of lucky children will pass them.
In the end, just four children succeed: Reynie, Kate, Sticky and Constance. They have three things in common: they are all honest, all remarkably talented and all orphans...
Their first mission? Going undercover at the Learning Institute for the Very Enlightened. Here, the only rule is that there are no rules. And if they can get out alive, more adventures await.
Join this smart and resourceful band of kids as they solve puzzles and mysteries, race across the
globe by train, bicycle and ship, and face dangerous dilemmas to save their newfound home and family.
This series is not only full of adventure and excitement, but it's also a story of chosen family, becoming who who want to be, courage and facing fears. Trenton Lee Stewart has crafted characters that will stay with you for a lifetime.
