Description

Samantha "Sam" Archer, her friends, and their "kindergarten buddies" are on a trip to the River City Children's Museum, which has been plagued by vandalism.

Quick Summary

A group of fourth graders team up with their kindergarten buddies to catch a museum vandal, turning an ordinary field trip into a detective mission. The Story of the Charlotte Bobcats blends friendship drama, clever clues, and the thrill of solving a real mystery while proving themselves to the adults around them. If your kid loves the mystery and humor of "Cam Jansen" or the school adventure stories of "The Lemonade War," they'll snap up this fast-paced tale. With a 3.3 AR level and just the right mix of intrigue and heart, this book hits the sweet spot for kids in grades 3 through 5.
