In the next exciting installment of the series, Jack travels
to Japan, where under the cover of darkness, a band of ninja
thieves has stolen some of the country''s most priceless treasures,
including an ancient samurai sword. Can Secret Agent Jack Stalwart
take on the gang before the treasures are lost forever?
From Kenya to Cambodia, the United States to China, each book in
this exciting series focuses on a different destination and
provides interesting geographical and historical facts as each tale
begins. Jack Stalwart is an ordinary schoolboy who volunteers for
daring secret agent work with the Global Protection Force when his
older brother Max disappears on an undercover mission. Each evening
at 7:30, Jack''s miniature globe Wizzy spits out a puzzle piece that
he inserts into his magical map that dispatches him to another
exotic location to solve a mystery, uncover a crime, right a wrong,
and still get back in time to finish his homework! Armed only with
a backpack loaded with ingenious gadgets and his common sense, Jack
travels throughout the world, always hoping each mission will
supply him with clues to his brother''s whereabouts.
