Graysen Foxx must use his extraordinary detective skills to solve the
strange, mind-bending clues of the Illuminerdy--a secret society of
school nerds who guard a powerful treasure.
Graysen Foxx is no stranger to the mysteries hidden in Ordinary
Elementary--the bat-filled tunnels, the secret passageways, the
underground chambers, and the sticky spiderwebs--and he's on the hunt
for a creepy old painting that will guarantee his victory in the
school's Halloween room contest. But finding and claiming the painting
is only the beginning of a wild adventure filled with puzzles that will
put Graysen's treasure-hunting skills to the test.
When Graysen finds a mysterious symbol on the back of a dusty spelling
bee medal, the discovery spreads like creamy peanut butter, and fifth
grader "Let's Make a Deal" Larry immediately offers to trade for it. But
before Graysen can learn who Larry is working for, a masked second
grader steals the medal.
Who wants the medal and why? Was it Graysen's nemesis, Raven? The
second-grade spy network? Or the Doodler, the sixth-grade boss who
blames a lost spelling bee for ruining his life?
While researching what the symbol might mean, Graysen and the twins,
Maya and Jack, cross paths with a secret society of super-smart nerds
and techies who call themselves the Illuminerdy. Ringing an ancient gong
reveals a treasure so powerful, it could change the world of education
forever. Now, Graysen and Raven must work together to outwit the secret
society by uncovering a bone-rattling secret that the Illuminerdy will
do anything to protect.
