Shinoy and the Chaos Crew When Shinoy downloads the Chaos Crew app on his phone, a glitch in the system gives him the power to summon his TV heroes into his world.

With the team on board, Shinoy can figure out what dastardly plans the red-eyed S.N.A.I.R., a Super Nasty Artificial Intelligent Robot, has come up with, and save the day.

“Welcome to Fenton Museum!” boomed the guide. “Built in 1809 by Sir Reginald Fenton, the museum has paintings by local artists, and one-of-a-kind finds from Flat Hill.”

It was Art Week at school, and Shinoy’s class were at the local museum.

Toby pointed to a glass case.

“Look! An old piece of cheese from a shipwreck.”

Shinoy pulled a face.

“I hope that’s one-of-a-kind.”

“Here is Sir Reginald!”

The guide stood proudly in front of a portrait of a man wearing a huge, black hat.

“This is Lady Anne Fenton, holding a pineapple,” the guide continued.

“Shinoy,” Toby whispered, “have you got any snacks?”

“No,” Shinoy whispered back.

The guide gave them a long stare. “This is the founder of your school, Alfonso Amitri.”

“Our head teacher’s name is Alfonso?”

Toby snorted.

“It’s his great-great-grandfather,” Shinoy laughed.

“The hat is similar to Sir Reginald’s,” the guide continued.

Shinoy looked at the first picture.

“Where’s Sir Reginald’s hat gone?”

“Ooh, and Lady Anne’s missing her pineapple!” Toby said, pointing.

Shinoy did a double-take.

“And Alfonso’s now lost that ferret he was holding.”

The guide looked like she was going to explode.

“What about the cheese?” Toby asked.

Shinoy rushed to the glass case.

“No one’s taken the cheese.”

When things like this happened, Shinoy activated the Chaos Crew app on his phone.

“Call to Action, Chaos Crew!”

With a flash, light-fingered, super-sneaky Lazlo appeared.

“Shinoy! For the right price, I can help you out, my friend!”

“Pizza?” replied Shinoy.

Lazlo grinned. “Deal.”

“Something weird’s going on, Lazlo. Things are going missing from the pictures,” Shinoy explained.

“Looks like things are going missing everywhere,” Lazlo said.
