With a hilarious and charismatic cast of characters, this start to a fresh middle grade action-adventure series is part Spy Kids and all fun!

Everyone in twelve-year-old Haleâs family is a spy, going way back. Theyâve all worked for the Sub Rosa Society, an elite organization thatâs so top secret that new agents arenât recruited; theyâre born. His parents may be the ultimate spy team at SRS, but Hale isnât your typical stealthy spy--he is, as his mother puts it, "big-boned," and as some of his classmates put it, "fat." Still, heâs convinced he will someday be a great field agent. After all, itâs his legacy.

But when both his mother and father go missing on a secret mission--likely captured by the SRSâs number one enemy--itâs Haleâs time to step up and (with a little help from his acrobat-cheerleader little sister) save the day.
