The Hardy Boys meets Alex Rider in this start to a brand-new series
starring everyone's favorite inventor--Tom Swift! When your dad
funds the Swift Academy of Science and Technology, you're bound to
have a bunch of tech at your disposal. So no one bats an eye when
Tom and his best friend, Noah, test their new virtual reality drone
before class. At the academy, once class starts and the drone is
parked, their brainiac friends then launch into farfetched
discussions about the curriculum. And when they watch a documentary
about the FBI's most wanted hackers from the eighties, they quickly
start speculating that the academy custodian is one of them. At
first, Tom dismisses the idea as another one of his friends'
conspiracy theories. But using their new drone, he spies the
custodian acting suspiciously around school. As Tom and his friends
search for evidence that the custodian is the missing hacker, the
signs become impossible to ignore when Tom gets threatening
messages that warn him away from investigating. And when someone
releases a virus in the school servers, all bets are off as the
adjoining servers at tech giant Swift Enterprises come under fire.
Can Tom and his friends uncover the true culprit before it's too
late?

Tom and his friends track down a mysterious blogger who pushes pranks too far in this seventh novel in Tom Swift Inventors’ Academy—perfect for fans of The Hardy Boys or Alex Rider series.
A series of videos called “The Not-so-Swift Academy” are the talk of Tom Swift’s tech-focused school. A mysterious host whose face is blurred shows hidden camera footage of different students being pranked—from a rubber tarantula leaping out of one of the terrariums to water flash freezing.
Tom and his classmates are on edge, wondering which unlucky student will be the star of the next episode. They’re on the lookout for hidden cameras and searching for signs of the next prank around every corner and behind every locker door. Tired of the tension, Sam decides to take matters in her own hands. She’s going to bust the blogger by studying the videos for clues.
But as Sam pieces the clues together, she unveils the biggest prank of all—someone’s trying to frame her for the videos! Can Tom and his friends unmask the blurred blogger and clear Sam’s name before they become the targets of the prankster’s increasingly nefarious stunts?
The Hardy Boys meets Alex Rider in this second novel in a brand-new
series starring everyone's favorite inventor--Tom Swift! Tom gets
to take all sorts of cool classes at the Swift Academy of Science
and Technology, but robotics may be the one he is most excited for.
Their teacher is holding a battling robot tournament, and Tom has
to build a machine that will come out on top. With the final battle
coming up, Tom and his friends need as much time as possible to
refine their masterpiece. But the rest of their teachers have been
giving so many pop quizzes that they can barely focus in class,
never mind concentrate on the tournament. Naturally, everyone is
frustrated with the trend...until a mysterious new phone app
appears. If students get pop quizzes during first period, they can
warn everyone else about it by getting their phones to emit a
high-pitched sound--a mosquito alarm--that adults can't hear. Tom
is unsure about the whole thing, but it technically isn't cheating,
right? But when someone changes the app to break all the rules, the
ethics aren't debatable anymore. The longer the perpetrator remains
unknown, the more harshly teachers treat all the students, and the
pressure won't stop until Tom and his friends track down the person
behind the app takeover.
