Iris Rourke feels useless. She's an underpaid copy editor, which means she usually spends her days battling misspellings, unnecessary Oxford commas (like the one the editor has inserted here!), and bad font choices that most people won't even notice. But then she gets an email that offers her a surprising new use for her grammar skills and eye for detail: taking on an international crew of hackers.

Fresh off their last case at the museum, the kids are in for a whole new mystery to solve, and they can only do it with their do-it-yourself detective gadgets - plus their zany scientist Uncle Newt and their friends Silas and DeMarco.

Eleven-year-old whiz-kids Nick and Tesla discover that someone in the quiet town of Half Moon Bay has placed their beloved Uncle Newt under electronic surveillance, but who is spying on him, and why?
