Pep Squad

A fantastic kid's spy adventure set in a secret agent training school

- Similar to the Alex Rider series - Irish-based but with a host of international characters and settings - Author of the Penny the Pencil series for younger readers Fourteen-year-old Jess Leclair is an exceptional teenager: athletically gifted and academically brilliant. Bored at her conventional Dublin school, she is thrilled to be offered a place at PEP Academy, the training ground for the top-secret PEP (Planet Earth Protection) Squad. During her first term, Jess quickly makes friends with her roommate, extreme-sport-loving Emily Harris, and the Sykes twins, Ben and Matt. Together, they learn the skills they will need to become world-class spies, like lock-picking, making disguises, abseiling, foreign languages and combat training. The teenagers are promised an easy first mission at the end of their first year. But then they find out they must infiltrate a Bavarian castle and steal a sample of a deadly virus that could wipe out all of humanity. Faced with armed guards, a complex security system, an evil genius and a traitor, the trainee spies must save the day or die trying. This is the next big thing in adventure fiction for pre-teens!
