The race is on-and this time, the finish line leads straight into a mystery.
At Lenape High, the annual Thanksgiving Turkey Trot is supposed to be the biggest (and safest) event of the fall-until the school mascot goes missing, a teacher's car is vandalized, and a string of bizarre clues appears overnight.
When accusations start flying, Marcus Kahale and Alissa Claude find themselves caught between saving the school's reputation and protecting their friends. With Janice's quick thinking, Nate's tech skills, and one very suspicious "anonymous" email, the Kahale Crew races to uncover who-or what-is sabotaging the Turkey Trot before the entire festival gets canceled.
But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes that this isn't just a prank. Someone has a grudge against Lenape High, and if the crew can't solve the case before the big race, they might be next to cross the wrong finish line.
Full of humor, teamwork, and heart, Turkey Trot Troubles is a fast-paced middle-grade mystery about friendship, responsibility, and doing what's right when the truth is anything but simple. Fans of City Spies, Framed!, and The Parker Inheritance will love this warm, clever, and twist-filled addition to the Kahale & Claude Mystery series.
Can Marcus and Alissa untangle the clues before the biggest event of the year falls apart? Grab your running shoes-and your detective notebook-and join the Kahale Crew for their most unexpected case yet.
