Nothing exciting ever happens at Lendon Middle School, and the arrival of new student Anthony Nielson only makes a small dent in the otherwise hum drum day for Gwen, Chloe, and Tom. But there is one thing to look forward to-a field trip to a local mood ring factory. On the day of the trip, the kids are soon bored with their tour and Gwen, Chloe, Tom, and Anthony decide to ditch the group. But lurking down corridors and little-used passageways is always a recipe for disaster, especially when they accidentally overhear a sinister plot by an evil ex-scientist who plans to steal a top-secret microchip from a government laboratory. When the friends try to tell someone of the villain's plans, nobody believes their story, and the four teens must take matters into their own hands. The clock is ticking, and the teens have to rely on their own resources and instincts to prevent the microchip from falling into the clutches of an international terrorist organization. Can the four friends stop the scientist before it's too late? For Gwen, Chloe, Tom, and Anthony, there's only one way to find out | The Mood Ring Adventure by Jaime Gianna Picano, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
