Perfect for fans of The Mysterious Benedict Society and Mr. Lemoncello's Library comes a rollicking, high stakes adventure!
The three Cheeseman children, their father, and their psychic dog are all on the run. After one of Mr. Cheeseman's inventions attracts the attention of some dangerous people, his family finds themselves being chased by international super spies, top secret government agents, and a genius monkey.
Searching for safety, somewhere they can settle down and live relatively normal lives, the Cheeseman family face danger at every turn as they fight to protect not just their parents' invention, but their mother's sacred memory.
