What This Book Is About
Strange clues begin appearing around Maplewood Elementary.
Small details most students overlook.
But Willa Quinn does not overlook details.
When patterns start to form, Willa realizes the clues are not random. Someone is leaving them on purpose.
With her best friend Toby by her side and her curious beagle Watson never far behind, Willa follows each lead as the mystery twists in unexpected directions. But not every clue points in the right direction, and not everyone is eager for the truth to come out.
Filled with friendship, teamwork, and clever detective work, The Trail of the Tangled Clues invites young readers to follow the clues alongside Willa Quinn and see if they can untangle the mystery before she does.
