Things start looking up, though, when they discover that they have been selected to be part of the Young American Geniuses group, super-smart kids who together, may solve the world’s problems. This honor, however, makes them the targets for a mysterious assassin that seems to be following them wherever they go. Their parents don’t seem to notice a thing, which allows the twins to battle evil without missing a beat of their summer vacation! If you like silly plots, snarky dialogue and madcap adventure, with a tour of interesting and bizarre Americana, this is the book for you. (Dodie Owens for Colorado Blue Spru ce Award, 2013)
