About this book

Short chapters, plenty of illustrations, and a secret 26-letter message hidden in the art keep readers turning pages. Perfect for young sleuths who like fast-paced, friendly mysteries.

Setting: Green Lawn, a contemporary small town—mainly the local bookstore and neighborhood—on April Fools’ Day
