Ever since a mysterious man named The Recruiter showed up to Maddie Robinson’s science fair competition, her life has been turned upside down. Before he handed her his encrypted business card, she had resigned herself to never stepping outside her hometown of Philadelphia, performing experiments in the basement of her cousin’s apartment building, and always winning the not so coveted “special achievement” award. Now, she’s been offered the opportunity of a lifetime: to become a member of the Illuminati, a secret society of spies run by tech billionaire, Zander Lyons. The best part? This year’s recruits are all kids that possess unique skills, just like Maddie! Together, they can make a real difference. To stay in the Illuminati, Maddie will have to pass a series of tests, whether she’s aware of them or not. But as the challenges get tougher and more covert, Maddie worries if their actions are changing the world for the better, or for the worse.
