Bookroo's summary

When Pops Verner is attacked and his prized watch stolen, Todd and Noelle face a puzzling mystery. With only a carved wooden figure as a clue and their mentor Mr. Merlin missing, the Third-Grade Detectives must unravel the truth. Are the storeroom workers hiding secrets? Can they solve the case without Mr. Merlin's guidance? The stakes are high as they race against time to uncover the thief's identity. Dive into a world of intrigue and suspense where every clue counts and nothing is as it seems.

From the publisher

ATTACKED! Someone knocked out Todd and Noelle’s friend Pops Verner, the night watchman at the department store, and stole his treasured pocket watch. He’s pretty sure the robber is one of three men who work in the storeroom. But how can he figure out which one, when the only clue is a carved wooden figure the thief left behind? It’s a new case for Mr. Merlin’s Third-Grade Detectives. But can the Detectives solve the mystery when Mr. Merlin himself is missing?
