Brainwashed: Crime Travelers Spy School Mystery & International Adventure Series - Crime Travelers Paul Aertker 1st edition

Ages 9 and up | "A squeaky clean Jason-Bourne spy thriller--for kids."
International teenagers race through Paris to sabotage the Good Company's profitable kidnapping business. Brainwashed: No matter how bad your past is, you still don't want it erased.  
While sleeping on the roof of his father's hotel, thirteen-year-old Lucas Benes finds a baby alone and learns that the Good Company has restarted its kidnapping business.  
Brainwashed (Crime Travelers #1) tracks the secret urban adventures of the New Resistance, a network of international teenage spies. Headquartered in Las Vegas's posh new Globe Hotel, the New Resistance sends its Tier One kids to Paris on its biggest mission to date. Lucas leads a group of friends through the hotspots of Paris--from the catacombs to the Eiffel tower--in an all-out effort to sabotage a brainwashing ceremony that could potentially turn them all into "Good" kids.  
Brainwashed (Crime Travelers #1) is a realistic middle-grade action-packed book for boys and girls who are intrigued by mystery, conspiracy, and espionage. (And it's for kids who know the difference between good and "good.")
