Steel Trapp: The Academy

"People will say things around children that they wouldn't say around adults." Wynncliff Academy is in the business of taking advantage of that simple truth. Steel, with a mind like a steel trap, and Kaileigh, with a gift for impersonation, are just finding their way around this new school. It's hard to adjust to a new place and even harder when the students are disappearing through the walls. Steel and Kaileigh use their special talents to uncover what's going on and just when they think they're beginning to fit in and "get" the place, they find out they've actually been recruited to perform covert operations. It's not just Wynncliff Academy-it's The Program, and intelligence is about to be passed between the daughter of an Iranian deputy ambassador and the son of a Russian consulate general. Meanwhile, out in the streets, another group of desperate young men is operating as a ring of thieves. The two worlds collide. 416 pages Ages 9-13
