Samantha Spinner and the Super-Secret Plans is a children's mystery novel centered on an eponymous character, Samantha, an 11-year-old from Seattle. Her uncle Paul disappeared mysteriously and left her siblings expensive gifts. Her brother, Nipper, received the New York Yankees. Her sister, Buffy, received $2,400,000,000. Samantha received only a rusty red umbrella. Eventually, she discovered that the umbrella lining contains maps and diagrams to secret means of traveling around the globe.

It is the first title in the four-part Samantha Spinner book series, to be released by Random House 2018–2021.

The underside of the umbrella contains a map of secret passages which they expect will help find Samantha's uncle, but outlaw ninjas from the sewers are in pursuit of them.

The story uses Samantha's brother Nipper as a device to add educational content to the story.

The book was written by Russell Ginns, who has written over 100 books and also designed video game software.
