Captain Trouble: A Story of Logic, Rumor, and Friendship

A modern Odyssey about friendship, truth, and the courage to stand in the wrong place for the right reasons.When high-schooler Theo Marin isn't reading Homer in the corner of the library, he's being blamed for disasters he didn't cause-from a fire alarm to a broken statue and a viral video gone wrong. Armed with wit, ancient Greek wisdom, and an unshakable curiosity for truth, Theo navigates the rumors that turn him into "Captain Trouble." With the help of his loyal friends-and a few unlikely allies-he learns that every accusation hides a story and every story deserves evidence.A sharp, funny coming-of-age novel for readers who love Percy Jackson's cleverness and The Goldfinch's realism, Captain Trouble celebrates reason over gossip, friendship over fear, and the timeless art of asking the better question.
