Book Description
In the suburbs of the city lived a Super Grandma, Jeanne Classyca, who had two grandchildren. Super Grandma was a special agent, and she had super magical powers. She was a classy lady and believed in eating the right foods and exercising. Not far away downtown in the city lived a Super Grandpa, Patrizio Wannabee, who had three grandchildren. He was a special agent and had super magical powers. He didn’t believe in eating healthy or exercising. One would describe him as a bit chunky, until Agent Classyca encouraged him to eat healthy and work out. Super Grandma and Super Grandpa were unknown superheroes and worked together on cases involving saving children in danger by using their super magical powers. They each owned a safety training school that taught safety and martial arts to children to make them aware of stranger danger, stop drop and roll, cyber bullying, and more. While they were working on a case, evidence was found in a wooden box, and they discovered their students and grandchildren were in danger. It was up to Super Grandma and Super Grandpa to catch the criminals by using their super magical powers. While they were trying to catch the criminals, something unexpected happened, and their super magical powers may have been handed down to their grandchildren.

After the rescue, Marlen, Bobby, Sassy and Bugger became known as the Little Unknown Superheroes. As time goes by, would the other grandchildren, Roselle, Alex and Rheese be handed down the super magical powers, and become Little Unknown Superheroes, too? Marlen and Bobby had to promise to keep the Little Unknown Superheroes a secret, and not use their super magical powers or fly, unless given permission. Super Grandma and Super Grandpa allowed Marlen and Bobby to fly alone with Super Grandpa secretly flying behind them. They wanted to see if the boys would keep their promise. Something unexpected happened while the boys were flying. They might have helped with a missing childrens case that Super Grandma, Super Grandpa, and FBI special agent Muscleman were trying to solve. Special Agent Muscleman and the investigators found out the criminals involved in the missing childrens case were in the United States and overseas. He contacted Agent Wannabee to tell him that Super Grandpa needed to fly overseas to work on the missing childrens case that was very dangerous.
