Hilarious action adventure for readers aged 8 and up, featuring the world’s most unexceptional spies. You think spies are clever and cool and mysterious? Think again . . .

When Jonathan and Shelley are summoned to work for The League of Unexceptional Children they’re more than a little bit surprised. Average in every single way, they’ve never been singled out for anything in their lives . . . scrap that, they’ve never even been noticed.

But that’s exactly what the League is after. Because if you’re truly forgettable, you’re perfect for acts of espionage – as Jonathan and Shelley are about to find out.

Reviews

This...amusing chapter book goes down easy. Even with the fate of the world resting on their 'slightly hunched' shoulders, the main characters are so disarmingly upfront about their inadequacies that they'll definitely have readers on their side.
