About this listen
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.

Because of his innate nerdiness, Ben is not surprised when he is recruited for a magnet school with a focus on science - but he's entirely shocked to discover that the school is actually a front for a junior CIA academy.

For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.

Watch the Trailer of Carmen Sandiego
Red fedora? Clever capers? Big surprises? All of the above.
I am a huge fan of origin stories—just ask me about the differences between Wonder Woman's backstory in the comics versus the movie! But until now, the early years of one iconic mastermind have remained a mystery. At long last it's time to stop asking "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?" and start finding out "Who in the world is Carmen Sandiego?" Gumshoes know that following her trail is important, but who is this international woman of mystery—and do her childhood experiences inform her nefarious deeds? After decades of speculation, questions about the early life of this clever, dashing, sneaky, mysterious—and yes, fashionable—master criminal are being answered. What is the significance of V.I.L.E. Academy? How can Carmen navigate the globe so effortlessly? Why did she turn to a life of crime? I’d love to share the secrets of Carmen's childhood years, but the Chief wouldn’t want me to spill the beans outside of ACME headquarters.

Our favorite moments from Who in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?

Story
Across the world, patriarchy has oppressed women and denied their contributions, but every nation has its own unique gendered hierarchy. Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs applies her signature approachable yet rigorous analysis to define American patriarchy in this definitive and groundbreaking history. Humanity in the United States is determined by gender in a limited and flawed binary logic that is also always tied to whiteness. Tubbs shows how a fabricated hierarchy became so deeply ingrained in the country over time that it now goes unnoticed, along with everything it intentionally conceals.
