Operation Double Check is a riotous, fast-paced adventure packed with wild twists, laugh-out-loud humor, and an underdog spirit you can’t help but root for. Kevin, Luke, and Moxie are the kind of unlikely heroes you instantly fall in love with — sharp, scrappy, and absolutely unwilling to back down, even when the stakes skyrocket from chess tournaments to international espionage.

The story shows every pulse-pounding moment: the snap of twigs as the trio flees through the Cherokee National Forest, the tense, sweat-slicked moments across chessboards where fortunes (and secrets) hang in the balance, and the ridiculous, hilarious chaos that only comes from accidentally taking on Russian spies with nothing but quick thinking, an iPad, and some serious moxie — literally.

Every page brims with tension and comedy in perfect balance, from Vladimir Putin's priceless Rembrandt-smashing tantrum to the anthrax-laced final showdown in London. Yet beneath the jokes and high-stakes antics, there’s a deeper heartbeat — a love for cleverness, friendship, and standing up for what's right, no matter how impossible the odds seem.

Operation Double Check is pure, joyful chaos — a spy caper that will have readers of all ages flipping pages as fast as they can, grinning at every absurd turn, and cheering as these amateur heroes take on global villains in the most epic game of chess and chance imaginable.
