The Case of the Crooked Footprints
Strange footprints appeared behind the bakery after a rainy night, but something about them doesn’t add up. Follow the clues, study the tracks, and decide who was really there.

Every night at exactly the same time, the porch light at the old house on Willow Street flickers back to life. Some people call it coincidence. Others think someone is trying to send a message.
