(4) YA The son of a Bond-style supervillain, young genius Cadel Darkkon attends his father's despotic Axis Institute, taking classes such as Basic Lying, Infiltration, and Embezzlement. His worldview changes, though, when he discovers his dad's lies could hurt Cadel's pen pal, Kay-Lee. A slowish start with an uneven tone leads gradually to a heart-pounding, shifting-ground ending, employing thrilling feats of espionage and deception.
