About Mission 1: All in a Day’s Work
In New York City, challenges confront Sophia MacGregor and her BFF Pedro Gonzalez with every step they take. At school, Sophia and Pedro find themselves the chief target of the Cru Crew, the bullies, and fashionistas of the Eighth Grade Honors Class at the James Samuel Calder Academy. Pedro’s a Hispanic scholarship student. Outspoken Sophia favors red high-top sneakers over Prada stilettos. Worse yet, both are at the top of the highly competitive class and are only ten years old.
Sophia and Pedro have assembled a team for their sleuthing and rescue operations. Wahoo the Arctic Raven is a brilliant inventor. His talents lie in strategy, technology, and surveillance. Zelda Screech Cat’s specialty is maneuvering undetected through difficult tight spots—and, of course, tormenting humans. Each is telepathic in multiple animal and human languages. The non-telepathic backup team includes three grown-ups who rush to the rescue when needed. Mr. O’D, Sophia’s guardian, lives across the hall. His job is to monitor Sophia’s and Pedro’s suspicious activities. If the meter climbs too high, he alerts his poker buddies, Henry, a retired FBI agent, and his NYPD nephew Lionel. They lend professional help on the sly.
When Sophia and Pedro visit their good friend Jack the Polar Bear in the Central Park Zoo, they find him in terrible shape. He’s depressed and withdrawn. Jack’s old friend Wahoo confides the bear is terrified. Russian animal poachers are plotting to abduct him! They immediately launch Operation Rescue Jack and find themselves targeted by the Russian mob.
