But what happens when those jelly beans fall into the wrong hands?!

Can Jake figure out what's going on, recover the missing jelly beans, and stop a high-tech heist before it's too late?! From top-secret hideouts to New York City penthouse apartments to the Statue of Liberty in the middle of the night, get ready to go on a whirlwind, wild-ride adventure filled with supervillains and spies, puzzles and pirates, codes and drones, and much, much more—and don't miss the first two books in the series— Smartest Kid in the Universe and Genius Camp!
