Code Name Zero

From Chris Rylander, author of the breakout hit Fourth Stall saga, comes an incredibly funny and clever mash-up of middle grade school story and spy adventure. There are places in the world where heroes are born. There are places where brave men and women fight a never-ending battle against evil in order to keep our country and all other countries safe. There are places where the fate of our planet is being decided, even at this very moment, the consequences of which will echo through history. None of these places is in North Dakota. Carson Fender, seventh grader and notorious prankster, knows this. He's lived in North Dakota for his entire life, going to the same boring school every day, the same boring movie theater every week, the same boring state fair every year. Nothing ever changes, and nothing ever happens. That is, until today. Because today a desperate man hands him a package with a dire set of instructions. And that package is going to lead Carson to discover that there's a secret government agency operating in his small, quiet North Dakota hometown. And that this agency needs his help. What happens when a notorious prankster is the only one who can help a secret agency? Secret Agent Adventure: Discover a hidden world of spies operating right under everyone’s noses in the most boring town in North Dakota. Kids' Humor and Pranks: From fainting goats on the school lawn to supergluing the principal’s office, Carson Fender is a master of chaos. Unlikely Hero: He’s more interested in gluing doors shut than saving the world, but when a mysterious package lands in his hands, Carson is the only one for the job. Top Secret Mission: Guard a mysterious package with your life, don’t open it, and trust no one. Easy, right?
