A chance meeting with a boy who lives on the other side of the house who is a tech geek leads to them setting up a surveillance system to investigate what’s happening… and the adventure begins.

Can these two intrepid teen detectives crack the case... and escape with their lives? "For anyone who loves quick mysteries, and those nostalgic 70s vibes, this is honestly the perfect series.

She's adjusting well, but Nadia's finding that there are never quite enough hours in a day. So, she is excited when she is gifted a virtual assistance that can help her 'do less, experience more' - just like the advertisements say. The device works, but not everything is as it seems. She'll need help to save herself and the entire world as we know it. "This was super entertaining and perfect for anyone looking for a Marvel read that brilliantly balances the life and struggles of being a teen with those of being a superhero." - goodreads.com
