The Bureau of Unnecessary Heroics

Welcome to Penrose Academy: the world’s most secretive boarding school for “gifted orphans” (read: highly unsupervised chaos gremlins).

Frankie Morales isn’t trying to be a hero—he just wants to follow the rules, keep his binder organized, and not get erased from existence. Unfortunately, someone forgot to mention that Penrose is also the covert front for a glitchy government agency called the Bureau of Unnecessary Heroics.

Now Frankie and his misfit classmates are tangled in rogue simulations, mysterious resets, kazoo-powered sabotage, and a shadowy experiment that’s been running for far too long. One thing's clear: the rules aren’t just broken—they’re being rewritten.

Armed with nothing but questionable gadgets, chaotic teamwork, and a binder full of scribbled notes, the kids of Team 98 are about to find out what it really means to go off the map.

A hilarious and heart-pounding standalone middle grade adventure—perfect for fans of The Mysterious Benedict Society, Percy Jackson, and Spy School.

“Some rules are meant to be broken. The good ones—we write ourselves.”
