Imagine discovering you're going to be President of the United States - when you're just 12 years old. That's what happens to Carter Hopkins when he's recruited to a top-secret school inside Mount Rushmore, where future world leaders train together in secret. But when a Russian student attacks Mount Rushmore Academy and threatens to start World War III, Carter has to learn Russian, master spy skills, and somehow convince this dangerous kid not to destroy the world - all while dealing with his first crush, a broken collarbone, and a teacher who might be a traitor. MOUNT RUSHMORE ACADEMY is a thrilling adventure that asks: What if the fate of the world rested in the hands of a middle schooler? Perfect for fans of Spy School and Percy Jackson who love high-stakes action with a side of friendship, betrayal, and secret underground bases built into national monuments.
