In their latest mission for The League of Unexceptional Children, twelve-year-old spies Jonathan and Shelley must clear the names of Jonathan's witless parents, who were duped into stealing government secrets by a shadowy organization. Despite a rushed final act, jarring tonal shifts, and repetitive humor, fans will enjoy the usual energetic pace and the camaraderie of these average-Joe heroes. Black-and-white cartoon illustrations reinforce plot points.
