In this action-packed series, nine-year old secret agent Jack
Stalwart travels the globe in search of his missing older brother
Max while solving international crimes for the Global Protection
Force. In The Caper of the Crown Jewels, Jack is summoned to solve
a matter of grave national importance: the theft of the Crown
Jewels of the British Empire from the Tower of London. Arriving on
the scene, he is greeted by a traditional Tower guards, a Yeoman
Warder, or Beefeater, who explains what''s missing: The Imperial
State Crown, the Sovereign''s Orb, and the Sovereign''s Scepter with
the cross containing the finest-cut diamond in the world, the
diamond of the Culliinan I, the Star of Africa. The queen is not
pleased. Jack identifies Ivan the Incredible and his assistant Jazz
as the thieves immediately--but puzzling out how they did it is
stickier. The infamous Tower has the most advanced security in the
world, and even using his impressive gadgets the Encryption
notebook, his Heli-Spacer, Rock Corer, and Rope Tornado Jack is
flummoxed by how jewels were spirited out. But Jack can conjure up
more than gadgets--he foils the evil magicians with some powerful
mojo of his own, dispels an invisibility enchantment, narrowly
avoids the executioners block and some other murderous ploys before
restoring the jewels to the crown and earning the gratitude of the
Queen herself!
