First in a page-turning, action-adventure series for middle-grade readers, the popular real American heroes are on a mission involving deadly technology, missing students, and a secret organization of ninjas in G.I. Joe Classified Book One.

When Stan's mom gets the job offer of a lifetime at a cutting-edge tech company, Stan packs his bags and exchanges Chicago for Springfield, home to DeCobray Industries. Saying goodbye to big-city life is only the first challenge Stan faces in moving to Springfield, a town that's eerily under the thumb of his mother's powerful employer. DeCobray has its hand in everything, including the Lyre XR augmented reality headsets that Stan and his fellow students at Springfield Academy are asked to beta test.

At first Stan loves his headset--data on his classmates is at his fingertips, and the Lyre's custom filters make school sort of fun--but then he meets Scarlett, Ichi no Zoro-me, and Julien, and his new friends show him there's a lot more going on behind DeCobray's flashy tech. When several kids go missing at school, Stan and his friends set out to uncover the truth behind the devices. But the further they dig, the more sinister the conspiracy at the heart of their town appears . . .

This propulsive series starter from Kelley Skovron is a heart-pounding thrill ride from start to finish, perfect for fans of G.I. Joe.
