George Parker Goes Global

Description

Get the jet! What could go wrong when cautious, scientific, singlet-wearing George Parker and reckless rich-kid Chase Landon-Bond take off on a global rescue mission? Just about everything! There are private jets, troublesome pets, crazed criminals, treacherous trips, chaos, too much coffee, and two hundred million missing dollars. There are close calls, ridiculous disguises, accidental haircuts, and that's just the first bit! Are George and Chase doomed? Will friendship and silly ideas save the day? Does wearing a cape make you brave? Get in planes, trains and automobiles with George and Chase...and HOLD on tight!
