"Rooftop rappelling is just the tip of the action iceberg in this high-energy adventure that thoughtfully addresses global issues." - Foreword Reviews

"Perfect for preteens and early teens who envision days of action and excitement." - J. Phillips, education consultant

"At first glance, Lucas Benes, the hero of Crime Travelers: Brainwashed, is a typical teenage boy, impulsive, insecure, and brash. Yet, like most adolescents, he proves to be so much more: resourceful, courageous, and most importantly, kind."-J. Cobb, Head of School, GCDS

"I love how math helps Lucas and his team escape danger at every corner."- K.G., middle school math teacher

"An adventure that maintains a fast pace throughout with rescues, crashes, street fights, and more. While there are plenty of stunts typical of the kid spy genre--from a creepy, super-evil villain to motorcycle chases and private luxury aircraft--there is also a decidedly serious, real-life element. Full of exotic locals and locales, the international stage is set, and Paul Aertker's Brainwashed leaves the door wide open for future installments in the Crime Travelers series. "-Foreword Reviews

From Goodreads:

CRIME TRAVELERS: BRAINWASHED is a novel aimed at the preteen market, and it hits the mark. The book follows thirteen-year-old Lucas Benes, a typical kid who sleeps on the roof of a hotel, saves kidnapped babies and rappels through windows. Lucas and a group of teens fight the GOOD Company, an organization that is anything but. Racing and whirling through all the major attractions in Paris, this is more of a travelogue than a nefarious story, and kids from 10 up should relish its campy flavor of excitement and thrills. CrimeTravelers starts fast and speeds to a rousing conclusion.

Biografía del autor:

Paul Aertker writes the Crime Travelers Spy Mystery series, a squeaky-clean international action-adventure collection, for kids. As a traveler and multilingual teacher, Aertker (pronounced AirT Kerr) has clocked nearly half his life outside the US. When he was a teenager, he slept on the streets of London to watch a royal wedding. He took the CIA exam because he wanted to be a spy for the good guys (and not the "Good Company"). He was an au pair in France and built a children's library in Africa.
