Fenwick Finch and the Vanishing Lunches

Fenwick Finch notices things everyone else walks right past. So when lunches start disappearing from the fourth-grade cubbies at Maple Hollow Elementary, he's the first one to realize something strange is going on - and the last one anybody expects to solve it. With his grandfather's old magnifying glass, a battered notebook, and a brand-new partner in sharp-eyed new girl Divya Patel, Fenwick builds a suspect list, chases down clues, and stakes out the cubby hallway one nerve-wracking lunch period at a time. But the closer they get to the truth, the more Fenwick realizes this case isn't about catching a thief at all. It's about a secret one classmate has been carrying alone - and the kind of mystery you don't solve by pointing fingers, but by paying attention. A warm, funny, big-hearted mystery for young readers who love a good case - and an even better ending. - Perfect for fans of A to Z Mysteries, Nate the Great, and Encyclopedia Brown - A satisfying, kid-friendly mystery with real emotional depth - Great for independent readers ages 7-10 - First book in the Fenwick Finch Mystery series - Case #2 coming soon Some mysteries aren't about catching someone.
