Maddie Robinson has always been overlooked: by her parents (who disappeared), by her friends (who are nonexistent), and even science fair judges (who think she has "so much--potential"). So when a mysterious man called The Recruiter invites her to join a secret society of spies, Maddie is floored. Then she discovers that these super secret super spies are the Illuminati--the world's most covert organization, rumored to control, well, everything. And one more thing: the Illuminati are kids, like Maddie.
