Swift and Hawk: Cyberspies (Swift and Hawk #1)
by Logan Macx (Author)
For fans of the Alex Rider and Spy School series comes a twenty-first-century spin on the spy novel, featuring a girl and boy whose brilliant minds and cutting-edge technology make them unstoppable.
When their families are violently kidnapped, Swift and Hawk--teen experts in AI and robotics--are plunged into a life-or-death rescue mission by the secretive Möbius group. Their journey takes them from hidden tunnels beneath the British Museum to the dangerous docklands of Amsterdam in search of the mysterious ship Nightfall. Caught in a treacherous world of spies and saboteurs, Swift and Hawk will be pushed to the limit as they follow a trail that leads to the remote island of Spøkelsøy--and straight into the hands of a dark and chilling enemy.

Twelve-year-old best friends Caleb Quinn and Zenobia Rafiq team up to save their kidnapped families in this lively series opener by Macx. After his CIA mother is taken by mercenaries working for mysterious computer scientist Xavier Torrent, hacker and programmer Caleb, successfully eluding capture, meets up with his robotics expert best friend Zenobia for help. He soon learns, however, that Zenobia's parents were kidnapped by the same crew. When the two approach Prof. Tilda Clay--a teacher at the London-based technology school they both attend--for guidance, she tells them the disappearances are part of a larger scheme, and inducts the tweens into the Möbius Program, a secret intelligence society, as agents Swift and Hawk, instructing them to employ their special skills to help crack the case. Using a unique AI that Caleb inherited from his deceased father, the intrepid duo decode a message that jump-starts an action-packed adventure across Europe. While the technological worldbuilding is intriguing, it's Caleb and Zenobia's easy, established camaraderie and shared worry for their loved ones that carry this breakneck techno-thriller. Caleb is white; Zenobia is of Syrian descent; Professor Clay is Black. Ages 9-12. (Nov.)
