Bookroo's summary
Aven Green, a third-grade detective with a knack for solving mysteries, faces her toughest challenge yet. Her teacher's lunch bag vanishes, and her great-grandma's dog goes missing. Armed with her super-powered brain, Aven, born without arms, believes her extra brain cells are the key to cracking these cases. Can she solve both mysteries at once, or will they remain unsolved? Dive into Aven's world of clever deductions and unexpected twists as she navigates the challenges of being a young sleuth with a unique perspective.
From the publisher
Third-grader Aven Green has been solving mysteries for a whole month–cracking such cases as The Mystery of the Cranky Mom. But can this perceptive detective solve two cases at the same time? First her teacher’s lunch bag disappears. Then Aven’s great-grandma’s dog goes missing. Fortunately, since Aven was born without arms, all the “arm” cells went to her super-powered brain instead. (That’s her theory.) This hilarious chapter book showcases a new side to Dusti Bowling’s unforgettable protagonist.
