West Meadows Detectives: The Case of the Snack Snatcher

A new paperback format of the first title in the West Meadows Detectives chapter book series. Meet Myron: a third-grade detective who loves logic, facts and solving mysteries. He does not love new things. Unfortunately, everything is new this year: Myron has a new baby sister, his family has moved across town, and now he’s starting his first day at a new school. But when the school kitchen is burgled, leaving the morning snacks nowhere to be found, Myron gets his chance to crack the case with help from his classmates from Resource Room 15. Myron’s unique perspective from the autism spectrum makes him a top-notch sleuth. Similarly, the other kids in his resource room demonstrate creative problem solving and unique talents that come in handy for the case. Together with his detective partner, the hyper-energetic Hajrah, and tech-savvy Danielle, known as Glitch, Myron gets to the bottom of the mystery - all while trying to avoid the school bully, Sarah Smasher McGuintley, who’s intent on sabotaging their efforts.
