Framed by James Ponti (2016) Aladdin

Florian Bates is your average 13 year-old, except he is very smart and has developed a method of solving puzzles he calls the Theory of All Small Things, or TOAST.  He teaches this method to his new best friend, Margaret.  His parents are a security expert and an art expert who both work at the local art museum.  While practicing toast at the museum, Florian and Margaret notice something suspicious.  A few days later, while visiting again, there is an art heist.  Florian helps find the three paintings before they even leave the premises.  Even though everyone is convinced that the Romanian Mafia is behind the theft.  This results in Florian being hired as a covert asset for the FBI.

Florian gets FBI training in self-defense and hostage survival.  He even gets some gadgets; a free for life metro card, which helps the FBI track his movements, and a pair of glasses that record video and even a panic button in the form of an asthma inhaler.

His friend Margaret wants him to use his unique talents to find her birth parents.  Florian is not sure she should get this information, but she’s his best friend and they set out to find what they can.  They visit the fire station where she was left as an infant and the captain remembers.  Only he never met her parents.

The head of the Romanian mafia in the U.S. is seen where Florian is watching his friend play and win the city championship soccer game.  The FBI take no chances and grab Florian and take him home.  And tell him he’s off the case.  But that doesn’t stop Florian and he and Margaret go to an open-to-the public reception at the Romanian embassy to spy of the mafia king-pin.  Only he sees them and they have to be rescued again.

While confined to his house, Florian figures-out that another painting was stolen and tells the FBI.  His mother secrets a chip of paint from the suspect picture and when the FBI analyze the chip, they know it’s a forgery.

But before they can figure out where the real painting is, Florian is kidnapped – by the kingpin.
