In Hiding Carly, the protagonist, Sean, exemplifies the qualities that we see in our Junior Special Agents.” William Malinowski Former (retired) FBI Special Agent About the Author Ann Eisenstein, a teacher, psychologist and author, has led a variety of seminars and workshops to assist educators, parents and lay people in working with children and families.
