Bookroo's summary
Misty's new bike is wrecked by a speeding car, leaving only a trail of red dirt and a glimpse of white paint. With little to go on, Misty enlists the Third-Grade Detectives to track down the elusive driver. As they navigate a town full of white cars, can they uncover the truth and bring justice to Misty's bike? Dive into this mystery where every clue counts and every car could be the one.
From the publisher
IT’S A DIRTY SHAME! Misty’s younger brother left her brand-new bike in the middle of the street, and a speeding car ran over it. Not only is the bike totally mangled, it’s covered with ugly red dirt. Misty wants to find the driver, but she doesn’t have much information to go on – all she noticed was that the car was white. The Third-Grade Detectives agree to help, but there are an awful lot of white cars around town. Can the detectives clean up the case?
