"Twelve-year-old Tom Friday was never meant to be a museum-guarding, artefact-finding, super-brave explorer. But he gets embroiled in an adventure with twelve-year-old Lisha and her aunt, who is a special agent working for the Natural History Museum to protect and retrieve powerful mythical objects.
The Questers Agency run a network of international agents tasked with locating and safeguarding treasures from around the world. And Lisha is determined to be the youngest ever agent, but first she’ll need to prove her worth. That’s where Tom comes in. Tom is a super-recognizer, someone with the ability to pick out people from a crowd after barely glimpsing them for a moment. Together Lisha is sure they can solve a complex and intriguing quest: to find the key to the mythical Box of Locks, before it falls into the wrong hands.
Faced with a bunch of complicated cyphers and coded clues, the new friends must learn to trust each other in order to beat the forces of darkness and save the world from potential apocalypse."
"In this hilarious second audiobook from Sam Hay's action packed chapter book series, Spy Penguins, two young adventure-loving and gadget-obsessed penguins must prove their favorite uncle is innocent before the Frosty Bureau of Investigation locks him away forever!
Jackson and Quigley were this close to joining the FBI (Frosty Bureau of Investigation), until Jackson’s mom found out and they ended up scrubbing seagull poop instead. At least they have Uncle Bryn’s birthday party to look forward to. But when they get to the Ice Cream parlor, the FBI agents are acting strange. Instead of talking, Uncle Bryn and his friends just finish their glowing green ice cream, then jump into a waiting ice cream truck and disappear.
It's obvious that something has gone very, very wrong, and now Uncle Bryn is suspected of being a master thief! Can Jackson and Quigley solve the case before Uncle Bryn is locked away forever?
