Jonathan and Shelley--average, unmemorable twelve-year-olds--are ideal spies for The League of Unexceptional Children. The unremarkable duo must save the day when the vice president is kidnapped and the nation's secrets are threatened. The one-note premise wears thin, but fans of comic mysteries should enjoy this projected series debut. Cartoon illustrations break up the text.
