I love this series. In fact, I’ve loved every single James Ponti book I’ve read! I read this one in 1 day.

I knew the minute I finished Framed that I needed to read the second one. It’s like a kid version of all my favorite FBI/CIA movies! I love Florian and Margaret and want to be friends with them desperately!

This is the second in a series about a boy named Florian Bates who has developed TOAST, the theory of all small things, that help him and his best friend, Margaret, solve mysteries for the FBI. In this mystery, Florian and Margaret go undercover in an exclusive private school in Washington, DC. It's super exciting, filled with lots of plot twists as well as topical cultural references. Kids are going to love this one.

E ARC from Net Galley. I loved this book every bit as much as the first in the series. Florin and Margaret's friendship, the interesting mystery and the writing are all reasons to pick up this book and to look forward to more from James Ponti! I can't wait to get this in the hands of mystery lovers at the Library.

The detective work of Florian and Margaret continue in the newest installment of the T.O.A.S.T. mystery series. This sequel to Framed has our young FBI consultants going undercover at a private school, where they are tasked with uncovering the identity of a vandal. Among the victims is the daughter of the President of the United States. Is a secret school society responsible for the recent pranks?
A great addition to this exciting series.!
