About The Book

Spy Kids meets Jimmy Neutron with a superpowered twist when a boy genius invents a device with powers to keep others safe.

Phillip McCoy, boy genius, invents the Automatic People Projector (APP) to bestow superpowers on the Guardians, a team of middle graders supporting his cause.

Yet the superpowers supplied by this handy device are unpredictable. When toymaker Reginald Mueller creates innocent-looking, limited-edition spyware robotic teddy bears to steal on his behalf, Phillip unknowingly accepts a free bear, threatening his own safety.
