The Schoolyard Detectives

                            Milo’s sandwich is gone. Just gone! And the worst part? Everyone thinks Milo secretly ate it. To clear his name, he teams up with Fina — the sharp lead detective with her trusty casebook — and Turbo, the “evidence expert” whose magnifying glass fogs up at the worst moments. Together, they launch The Schoolyard Detectives and start investigating: crumbs, suspects, secret plans marked with a giant X, and a mysterious note labeled “A38.”

But the case suddenly gets much bigger when the school trophy vanishes. With new rules looming and a suspicious “Inspector Neat” showing up at just the wrong time, Milo has only one chance: catch the real culprit before the schoolyard turns into a rule museum.

The Schoolyard Detectives is a children’s book for ages 8 and up packed with puzzles, humor, and illustrations, featuring short chapters, fast-paced scenes, and a fun read-along mystery where kids can spot clues, follow false leads, and solve the case with the team — perfect for independent readers, read-aloud time, and even reluctant readers.
