Men in dark hats sneak up behind you. Eyes on portraits follow
you.
Even the flowers in their pots turn
to track you as you pass by.
Nothing is safe.
No one can be trusted.
Having mopped up their last crime-fighting caper, our three heroes—Lily Gefelty, Katie Mulligan, and Jasper Dash, Boy Technonaut—are eager to get home.

It is a land of wonders.
It is a land of mystery.
It is a land that time forgot (or chose specifically not to remember).

He is a boy dressed in silks and white wigs and given the best of
classical educations. Raised by a mysterious group of rational
philosophers known only by numbers, the boy and his mother–a
princess in exile from a faraway land–are the only people in
their household assigned names.
In serious need of a vacation after their last laser-beam-filled
exploit, Lily, Jasper, and Katie have dashed off in their
Gyroscopic Sky Suite for a restful sojourn at the Moose Tongue
Lodge and Resort, a stunning spot filled with roaring fires, Cocoa
Splurges, and many fine displays of taxidermy.

dad–a normal-enough seeming guy–just so happens to work
for an evil genius who plans to unleash an army of extremely
cranky, stilt-walking, laser-beam-eyed whales upon the world.
When Brian and Gregory receive an invitation to stay at a distant
