Secret Agents Jack & Max Stalwart: The Battle for the Emerald Buddha is a children’s spy-adventure chapter book set in Thailand. While temporarily retired from the Global Protection Force and travelling with their family, Jack and his older brother Max learn that thieves have stolen the Emerald Buddha from Bangkok’s Grand Palace. With no support from the agency, the brothers must rely on their secret-agent training, quick thinking and teamwork as they pursue the missing statue and confront one of their most intelligent and powerful opponents. The first book in the Secret Agents Jack & Max Stalwart series combines mystery, action and an introduction to Thai places and culture, leaving the brothers to discover whether they can recover the national treasure before it disappears beyond their reach.
