Book Description
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 Hale's family is a spy, going way back. They've all worked for the Sub Rosa Society, an elite organization that's so top secret that new agents aren't recruited; they're born. His parents may be the ultimate spy team at SRS, but Hale isn't your typical stealthy spy--he is, as his mother puts it, "big-boned," and as some of his classmates put it, "fat." Still, he's convinced he will someday be a great field agent. After all, it's his legacy. But when both his mother and father go missing on a secret mission--likely captured by the SRS's number one enemy--it's Hale's time to step up and (with a little help from his acrobat-cheerleader little sister) save the day.

Book Description
Deep in the heart of East Anglia lies the sleepy village of Red Kep. A village known for its juicy greens. A village which a weary motorist could easily miss with the blink of an eye. A place where nothing out of the ordinary ever happens. At least that is what Jemima Sally thinks when she takes her first teaching post in the drowsy town. But the naive teacher couldn’t be any more wrong. Before she realises it, Jemima Sally has been catapulted into the realms of the paranormal. She is forced to adapt to a world of low flying students, chlorophyll enhanced children, secret military flights and a cabbage patch war. Miss Sally begins to question her eyesight, the school curriculum and her own sanity. At the point of despair, the school teacher finds an ally in Primrose Green, a pupil with abnormal sensory abilities and an eco system living atop her head. The unlikely duo starts to uncover the truth about the bizarre goings on in Red Kep. A trail of clues leads to a mad, local inventor who has dabbled outside the boundaries of science and nature. Sleepy Red Kep looks set to imprint its name in the history books when an EXPLOSIVE situation develops. Things can only go one way. Up.
