Imagine Zoe Stranek’s surprise when she finds out her dad didn’t work at Starbucks, but used to be a secret agent, protecting our planet against Alien invasions. So when Ulav, her dad’s old partner and weird comedic alien, tells her this, she decides to step into her father’s footsteps. Together with her new alien bestie and her best friends Quigley and Rock, she protects our planet from General Gore, the ultimate badass alien, hoping to find out what happened to her father.

After their rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches story, the Tuccis exploit a 19th-century legal loophole to turn their hometown into a tax haven.

Life flows peacefully in Vinci: Leonardo is struggling with his incredible inventions, Lorenzo helps him and Gioconda observes them mockingly. When A mysterious storyteller comes to town and speaks of a hidden treasure, an adventure begins.

The Tuccis, a close-knit family of country bumpkins, become millionaires overnight. When word gets out, nagging neighbors and acquaintances force them to leave for the big city to start anew—and openly flaunt their newfound wealth. Soon they'll realize they ain't got the faintest idea how today's upper classes actually live.
