Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Author and creator Shane Blake Grenald today announced the continued growth of THE ADVENTURES OF OREN & MIKE®, his action-adventure book series for young readers, with the release of America's 250th Anniversary: Special Edition - a title that folds the nation's semiquincentennial into the ongoing saga of two best friends turned agents. The new book joins a fast-growing catalog that now spans six titles across fiction, cooking, and personal storytelling.THE ADVENTURES OF OREN & MIKE® follows Oren and Mike, lifelong best friends who are recruited as agents and thrust into a world where the line between reality and fiction blurs. Across the series, the pair confront the mysterious, ever-evolving "Goblin Goo," navigate friendships turned rivalries, and are pushed to discover who they truly are — themes of brotherhood, loyalty, and courage that anchor every installment.
The series, more than 20 years in the making, has grown from a single idea into a full creative universe. Current titles include:
● Agents of Mayhem — the original book that introduces Oren and Mike as newly recruited agents.
● The World Beyond the Book — the friends journey through worlds where fiction and reality collide.
● Return of Crimson Claus — a holiday-set mission tests old friendships turned rivalries.
● America's 250th Anniversary: Special Edition — the series' newest release, tying Oren and Mike's story to America's semiquincentennial year.
● Cooking Beyond the Book: An Oren & Mike Cookbook — a companion cookbook inspired by the series and Grenald's own love of cooking.
● Beyond the Gates: My Disney and Universal Experiences — a personal memoir of Grenald's theme park travels.
“The Adventures of Oren & Mike is a fantastic journey filled with excitement, mystery, and friendship,” said reader Emily R. “Shane Blake Grenald creates memorable characters and meaningful lessons that keep young readers engaged from beginning to end.”
Grenald has described the series as a full creative vision that now extends beyond books, with plans for future projects in film, media, and immersive experiences. All titles in the collection are available now through Barnes & Noble, both in-store and online.
