Tom and Zilla are twins who also happened to work for the Secret Service.  They get sent in when an adult might be too suspicious.  In each book they receive a mission that they have to successfully complete.  Grayfields is about sabotage at a nuclear power plant; in Viper Attack they have to protect the son of a visiting scientist.

Two books of the Mission Alert series.  The book are super low – tailor-made for your middle school students who are ready two or three levels below grade level.  The action is exciting enough to catch their attention.  Each book includes questions at the back to see whether  the reader was paying attention.
