Publisher's summary

The globe-trotting thief in the red fedora returns! And now, the question isn't where—but who? In the role of Carmen Sandiego, award-winning performer Kyla Garcia reveals, for the very first time, the backstory of the ever-elusive master criminal whose whereabouts captured the imaginations of children everywhere—through educational video games, animated series, and a popular PBS "gameshow" for middle schoolers in the 1990s.

In this novelization based on the new Netflix animated series, you'll discover there's even more to the story. More action, more details, more twists. And you'll hear from Carmen Sandiego herself how the mastermind behind some of the most audacious capers ever conceived became the best thief on the planet. Don’t miss your chance to learn who in the world is…Carmen Sandiego.

So Nostalgic!!!!!!

I loved Carmen Sandiego as a kid and even more as an adult!! This book clears up all those questions I had as a kid. Kyla Garcia was an amazing narrator and Rebecca Tinker is a genius!!!!

Good book, but..........

Loved playing the Carmen Sandiego games as a kid.

Disappointed they didn’t stick with her original character as a VILE operative and she didn’t have a cell phone back in the 80’s!!

This is a great book for todays kid, that’s just getting to know Carmen and her adventures.

So good

We absolutely LOVED this audiobook!! My kids (7, 3, and 5) were silent the whole time! The story was captivating and the characters were so fun! I have to admit the 90s girl in me was totally into it too!! Now I want to play the game! I feel it was very age appropriate for kids and adults. The production was fantastic too!!

Entertaining

I only knew CS as a cartoon my 5 year old periodically watched so I chose this to engage him in the car. I loved the narrator and the storyline. My young son easily followed along and was so excited to hear the story each time we got into the car.
