When Frankie Morales accidentally gets recruited by The Bureau of Unnecessary Heroics-a top-secret organization dedicated to stopping the most ridiculous world-ending threats-he thinks it's a prank. But soon he's battling rogue garden gnomes, facing spaghetti-based supervillains, and trying to keep his team of eccentric recruits from imploding before lunchtime.

Armed with questionable gadgets, bizarre missions, and a binder full of rules that make no sense, Frankie and his friends will have to prove they can save the day... even if they don't understand what's going on.

Perfect for fans of The Mysterious Benedict Society and Spy School, this laugh-out-loud, fast-paced adventure is packed with clever twists, heart, and heroic levels of chaos.

H.M. Jones is a storyteller from the Appalachian mountains of southeastern Kentucky, where misty hollows and crooked trails spark tales of mischief, wonder, and magic. At 52, she's proof that it's never too late to do something completely ridiculous-like accidentally writing a book about a secret agency, angry gnomes, and kids armed with plungers.When she's not writing, she enjoys hiking quiet hills, imagining strange backstories for abandoned buildings, and drinking entirely too much coffee. She believes in second chances, shadowed paths, and the power of a well-told (and occasionally unnecessary) story.
