Quick Summary
When Evan's video store job disappears alongside a mysterious thief, his friends Annie and her crew dive into a hilariously tangled mystery to save the day. Young readers will cheer as the kids crack clues, outsmart the culprit, and discover that being brave sometimes means doing the unexpected, all wrapped in fast-paced humor that keeps pages turning. If your kid loves "Cam Jansen" mysteries or "The Bad Guys" series, this delivers that same mix of kid-powered problem solving and laugh-out-loud moments. With an AR Level 2.7 and short chapters, this is a sweet spot for second through fourth graders who want a mystery that feels grown-up but reads easily.
