Bullies Beware! EKHO Is Here!Elvis Jones is tired of being picked on, taunted and teased by the bullies at his elementary school. So he does what any smart, technologically savvy kid his age does – he creates “EKHO- Evil Kid Hunting Organization,” a sophisticated network of kid spies and secret agents that utilize a variety of cool gadgets and stealth methods to stay one step ahead of the enemy – the bullies. They recruit bullied kids and train them in the ways of the spy, with regular missions posted to an encrypted website that require smarts and skill, especially when the bullies catch on and form a counter-spy group, “DEKE – Destroy EKHO Kids Everywhere.”It’s all in good fun, until the kids of EKHO must put their skills to use for a far more serious purpose. As field agents come across evidence of a sinister conspiracy at their school, EKHO is forced to deal with a whole new danger when the bullies begin acting strangely, as if under some kind of weird mind control...and some of the school staff are in on it. As they deal with betrayal, sabotage, infiltration and intrigue, the agents of EKHO are left wondering – Who can you trust when the kid standing next to you might not be entirely human?

Ten-year-old Elvis Jones is tired of being picked on, taunted, and teased by the bullies at his elementary school, so he does what any smart, technologically brilliant kid his age would do: he creates EKHO, the Evil Kid Hunting Organization, a sophisticated network of kid spies and secret agents that utilize a variety of cool gadgets to stay one step ahead of the enemy—the bullies. They hire kids, make them swear allegiance to the organization, and train them as commandos, privates, and elite spies. As kids rise through the ranks, the missions, posted on an encrypted EKHO website, require ever more smarts and skill, especially when the bullies form their own counterspy group called DEKE (Destroy EKHO Kids Everywhere).It’s all in good fun, until the kids of EKHO must put their pretend skills to use for far more serious, and dangerous, missions. As field agents come across evidence of more sinister forces, they now have to deal with the strange, the weird, and the unknown as they look for the truth about the bizarre and creepy threats to their school, their families, and their own lives. They experience betrayal, intrigue, infiltration, and counter-espionage as well as teachers and adults who act more mysterious with each passing day, which leaves Elvis and his EKHO team wondering: Whom can you trust when the person standing next to you might not be entirely human?
