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 room-mate, extreme-sport loving Emily Harris, and the Sykes twins, Ben and Matt. Together they start to learn the skills they will need to become world-class spies, like lock-picking, making disguises, abseiling, foreign languages and combat training. At the end of their first year the teenagers are promised an easy first mission. But then they find out they have to 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 in their midst the trainee spies must save the day or die trying. This is set to be the next big thing in adventure fiction for pre-teens!
