    About this ebook

    Queeneka and Klaude are not very happy about their roles in the school play, Candy Dreams. They were both trying for the lead role and shy, quiet Javier beat them both! Things get even stickier at rehearsals when Klaude tries to remember his lines and Javier’s and when Queeneka adds more lines and solos to hers. No one is working as a team to make the play successful. That is, not until Javier goes missing on opening night! Can everyone work together to find Javier? Will Mrs. Holmes cancel the play? And who is that man hiding and lurking around the school?

    These mysteries are perfectly suited to keep readers guessing as they solve for clues. With longer sentences and fewer illustrations, they are just the right fit for your early fluent reader.

    • Extensive back matter

    • Underlying issues related to friends, family, and growing up

    • Keeps kids guessing with false clues

      Shaky, Breaky School Sleuth - Jessica Anderson

      Candy Dreams

      Keely paused in front of the Candy Dreams school play sign-up sheet hanging outside of the music room. She held a pencil in her hand but she wasn’t sure about auditioning. Keeping a secret was about the only thing she knew about acting.

      Did you forget your name or something? Klaude asked, waiting for his turn to sign up. Of course a class clown like Klaude would want to be in the play. He loved being on stage. Keely rolled her eyes at him.

      Keely’s new friend, Queeneka, grabbed the pencil from Keely’s hand. She signed up and added Keely’s name under her own. We’re going to have a blast in the play together! I just know I’m going to get the part of Candy Princess. You’ll get a good part too. I think. She muttered the last part under her breath.

      Klaude signed up next and wrote his name above Queeneka’s. The lead part of the play will be Candy Prince, not Candy Princess.

      We’ll have to see about that, Queeneka said. She turned around so fast her long braids almost whipped a boy named Javier in the face. He was next in line at the sign-up sheet.

      When Queeneka didn’t say a thing to Javier before walking off, Keely apologized for her. Sorry, Queeneka’s crazy about the play right now. I don’t think she noticed you standing there.

      No big deal. Javier shrugged. He had pink paint smeared on the side of his nose. Javier was one of the best artists at Watson Elementary School. He’d been painting the set for Candy Dreams. His painting of cotton candy looked good enough for Keely to eat.

      Keely watched as Javier held a pencil in his hand and paused for a moment, just as she’d done a few minutes before. Good thing Queeneka and Klaude already wrote their names on the list or they would’ve rushed him, too.

      You want to be in the play? Keely asked. Not the best question, but she was surprised since Javier was shy and seemed more interested in painting the set than being in the play. That’s how she felt, only she wasn’t
