The first book in a laugh-out-loud new series of hilarious, action-packed spy adventures from number one bestselling, multi-award-winning author, David Solomons. If you like James Bond with a dash of Johnny English, this is for you...
When Adam and his friends accidentally reveal the secret location of ex-MI6 quartermaster, Professor Goodspeed, they don't expect supervillains to turn up on their doorstep, looking for his most dangerous invention. Drawn into a dastardly plot, the friends must rescue the Professor and take on evil Dr Toe and all his henchmen to boot.
It's going to take buckets of bravery, a truckload of gadgets - including a flying bike, a robot-shark shield and, the deadliest of weapons, a glitter glue grenade - along with A LOT of luck to defeat the bad guys and stop them taking over the world.
At least the summer holidays won't be boring...
A fast-paced, funny adventure series, packed with illustrations.
Look out for:
David Solomons' debut children's book, My Brother is a Superhero topped the Sunday Times children's bestseller charts and won The Waterstone's Children's Book Prize and British Book Awards Children's Book of the Year. It has been sold in 23 languages and spawned four further books in the series. The first book in his latest comedy adventure series, Spyglass, will be published in 2026. He lives in Dorset with his two children, Luke and Lara.
