Sara Martinez gets caught hacking the New York foster care system to prove her foster parents were cheating the system for the money. When she gets caught, she faces juvenile detention until she is rescued by a mysterious man who convinces the court to release her into his custody. The man, known as "Mother" (reminiscent of the 1960s tv show "The Avengers"), is an agent with MI6, the British Secret Service. He introduces her to a group of adolescents from all over the world who form an elite spy unit. Each one has a special talent and the group needed a computer whiz as it's last member. The kids, each named for their hometowns - Sara is now Brooklyn, are trained for their mission to attend an international youth summit in Paris and thwart the disaster planned by a villain known only as "The Purple Thumb". This was a selection for my Treehouse Book Club. This is the first book in a series that is now up to four books.
