Avontuur, gevaar en een spannende missie rond de wereld. Dat staat de twaalfjarige Cruz Coronado allemaal te wachten als hij aan zijn eerste jaar aan de Explorer Academy begint. Een aantal bijzondere kinderen van over de hele wereld worden er opgeleid tot buitengewone Explorers. Maar voor Cruz staat er meer op het spel... Niet lang nadat hij op de Explorer Academy aankomt, ontdekt hij dat zijn familie een mysterieus verleden heeft op een geheime afdeling van de National Geographic Society. Een verleden dat zijn toekomst in gevaar kan brengen. Terwijl hij codes moet ontcijferen, aan school werkt, nieuwe vrienden maakt en op expeditie gaat, blijft Cruz zich één ding afvragen: wie zit er achter hem aan...en waarom?

On an island nation in the Indian Ocean, the explorers venture through a vast underwater world and take part in a friendly robotics competition. But the tides of good fortune change quickly. Suddenly, Team Cousteau jumps into action to rescue a faculty member from the brink of death. Meanwhile, the team follows Cruz's mother's clues to a magnificent tomb and center of spirituality precariously perched on the side of a cliff. There, Cruz is confronted by a familiar foe who's determined to stop him from completing his most important mission of all: Retrieving the final pieces of his mother's cipher. In this life-or-death showdown, Cruz witnesses the ultimate sacrifice and uncovers a hidden message that makes him question his own mortality.

"Cruz and his fellow recruits tackle challenging missions to dispense life-saving medication to gorillas, thwart pangolin poachers, and capture images of the last known cheetahs in Namibia--all the while discovering that protecting the world's threatened species is a dangerous business. Things turn deadly for Lani, Sailor, Emmett, and Cruz as they search for the fourth piece of Cruz's mom's cipher. Cruz knows it's not going to be easy, but will an unexpected guest bring a disastrous end to the search? In this global game of cat and mouse, one mistake may cost you the ultimate price"--

As Cruz and his friends continue to search for the third piece of the cipher, a mysterious message arrives suggesting that someone close to him is working for Nebula, leaving Cruz unsure of who he can trust.

Still reeling from the life-changing discovery he found buried in the mysterious archive, Cruz Coronado grapples with an important secret as the gang heads to China in search of the second-to-last piece of the cipher. Under the watchful eye of a new adviser, life on the ship returns to almost normal...Almost. Just as things seem to be going smoothly, a familiar face shocks Cruz back into reality, and the final piece in this life-and-death scavenger hunt veers toward a dead end.
