    Get to know the only kid on the FBI Director's speed dial and several international criminals' most wanted lists all because of his Theory of All Small Things in this hilarious start to a brand-new middle grade mystery series.

    So you're only halfway through your homework and the Director of the FBI keeps texting you for help . . . What do you do? Save your grade? Or save the country?

    If you're Florian Bates, you figure out a way to do both.

    Florian is twelve years old and has just moved to Washington. He's learning his way around using TOAST, which stands for the Theory of All Small Things. It's a technique he invented to solve life's little mysteries such as: where to sit on the on the first day of school, or which Chinese restaurant has the best eggrolls.

      This book is a book of trust, friendship, FBI agents, and dumpsters.
      As Ben Franklin always said, "Nothing good happens in dumpsters."

      James Ponti never fails to bring spy books that both middle schoolers and high schoolers can thoroughly enjoy. I am a Highschooler, and I devoured his City Spies series. These books are magnificent, but the City Spies books will always be my favorite James Ponti series. The “Framed” books have engaged our family and taught us much about reading faces. TOAST (the theory of all small things) sharpened our minds and is helping us gather logical conclusions! It is extremely enjoyable when Florian confirms you have correctly solved the cases! The writing isn’t difficult to comprehend for younger kids and it’s well written enough for older kids to appreciate the storyline.
