Publisher Description
Michael Buckley is a New York Times best-selling author, having scored fans far and wide for his Sisters Grimm series and popular TV shows. There's no doubt about it: These kids are nerds. Awkward, unpopular, uncool as uncool can be-and yet, there's something about these "nerds" that nobody else knows. These dweebs are actually superspies who use their dorky skills to battle the evil Hyena and other villainous baddies.

"When this book releases, it is a must read for all of us who weren't in the cool crowd. I love that the main characters are not the usual superheros. My favorite is Wheezer who is an asthmatic with turbo boosting inhalers. Awesome. The world needs new super spies who know all about the gadgets."

" I loved this book because I love spy stuff and cool gadgets. I've also read the other 2 books. My favorite part was when the team went to Cairo. I did not have any least favorite parts. I am 7 years old but I highly recommend it for when you are in fourth grade. "
— Sahil, 2/3/2014 -
" The story was a bit over the top for me. I did enjoy the repeated suggestions that nerds can grow up to be so much if they can get past childhood. I don't know if children will see that at didactic, but I think the idea is important. It looks like this is going to be a series, so I will see how well received it is in my school. "
— Karen, 1/31/2014 -
" Overall, this was a good book. It started out a little slow, but the action and interest level definitely picked up towards the middle and end of the book. The book didn't give me the "can't put it down" factor that other books have, but it did interest me enough that I'll probably read the 2nd book in this series. "

" I liked this book. It is about a really popular kid who gets braces. He immediately is no longer popular and has been a jerk to the nerds. He finds he has a talent for spy work and spies on people. Then one day he spies on the wrong people. To find out what happens read this book! "
