A hero with all of the style, panache and gadgetry of [[James Bond]], the [[Teen Superspy]] exists to save the world (or maybe just the kids) from megalomaniacs bent on world domination. And he'll do it all without being old enough to have a martini. Or drive. And he'll still have to find time to do his homework.

The [[Teen Superspy]] is the [[Improbable Age|implausibly young]] agent of secret agency. Perhaps she's been [[Tyke Bomb|trained from birth]] for this role. Perhaps she's carrying the legacy of a missing or dead parent. Perhaps the government figures no one will suspect children of being secret agents. Perhaps they were just in the wrong place at the right time. Whatever the case, expect them to have [[Shoe Phone|an arsenal of high-tech spy gadgets disguised as typical teen paraphernalia]].
