Bookroo's summary

In a one-room schoolhouse, a new student with thick glasses is quickly labeled as trouble. When a book vanishes, suspicion spreads. Logan, determined to clear his friend's name, embarks on a quest to find the missing book. Can he prove that everyone deserves a chance, or will the mystery deepen the divide? Join Logan in this engaging tale of friendship and discovery, where every clue counts and the stakes are more than just a missing book.

From the publisher

Logan tracks down a stolen book with the help of his new friend in the sixth book in the Tales from Maple Ridge series. There’s a new kid in Logan’s one-room schoolhouse! He’s quiet, has thick glasses, and the other students are sure he’s trouble. When a new book goes missing from the classroom’s bookshelf, accusations fly. Logan decides he must track down the book–with the help of his new friend–to show his classmates that there’s always room for another student in their small school. With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Tales from Maple Ridge chapter books are perfect for beginning readers.
