AN INTERNET JOKE
AN EVIL GENIUS
A HERO IS BORN

Gifted with a brain that works like a video recorder, twelve-year-old aspiring detective Elmo Fitzroy—famous on YouTube, thanks to his mother, as “Muppit Boy” because of really humiliating videos—becomes embroiled in a world-domination plot hatched by an evil scientist out to control humanity with deadly allergies.

Mo’s life plan is simple: ditch his dweeby childhood alter ego and fly under the radar to survive middle school. It backfires big time when he helps his Big Brother mentor—a police detective—investigate an old woman in a clown mask who robs people of their hearing aids.

Little does he realize that chasing clues with friends Barney Kettlewick and Kashvi Jindal will lead to a battle with ugly shoes, pursuit by chainsaw-wielding maniacs, an embarrassingly public rescue by a California condor, a meeting with Homeland Security, and his ADHD soaring into overdrive.

The kid who’s always been a joke must somehow become a hero to save his family, friends, and, well, the whole world.
