A missing lantern. A town full of clues. Four friends ready to solve their first mystery.

When a special lantern tied to Lantern Ridge's history disappears, Mallory, Tito, Jasmine, and Reynolds set out to find the truth. Together, they follow clues, question what they think they know, and uncover secrets hidden in plain sight.

But this mystery is about more than finding what was lost. As the Lantern Kids get closer to the answer, they learn important lessons about honesty, courage, friendship, and seeing the whole story before deciding what is true.

Fun, wholesome, and full of small-town mystery, The Mystery of the Missing Lantern is the first book in The Lantern Ridge Mysteries, a chapter-book series for young readers who love clues, friendship, and adventure.
