Description

Myron, the third-grade detective who loves logic, facts, and solving mysteries, gets the chance to crack another case when he finds out his classmate Jordan s robot has been stolen. Jordan and tech-savvy Danielle, known as Glitch, had been working on it for weeks for the upcoming Maker Faire Robot Maze Challenge. Together with his detective partner, the hyper-energetic Hajrah, Myron pins down two suspects: Sarah Smasher McGintley, the school bully, and Lionel Amar, another robot builder who was caught with Jordan and Glitch s plans. But after investigating the case further, they find out the thief is someone entirely unexpected. Myron s unique perspective from the autism spectrum and his eye for detail make him a top-notch sleuth. Similarly, the other neurodiverse kids in his resource room demonstrate creative problem solving and unique talents that come in handy for the case. Black-and-white spot illustrations accompany the text in this fun and accessible page-turner for independent readers. With a connection to STEAM and the maker movement, this book is an exciting next instalment in the West Meadows Detectives series.
