Meet Ernestine Jones, also known as Eagle-Eye Ernie.
"Everyone knows what spies wear—raincoats and sunglasses."
Who is the mysterious stranger in a trenchcoat and sunglasses prowling around the empty house across the street from the Martians' clubhouse? R.T. and Michael are sure it's a spy, and even the usually skeptical Eagle-Eye Ernie becomes suspicious when the Martians discover a coded message written in numbers. Even more perplexing is the series of odd deliveries Ernie and the Martians are keeping an eye on -- could it be a whole family of spies moving into the neighborhood?
When Eagle-Eye Ernie takes a case, it's sure to be full of fun and surprises!
Ages 6-8
