A school mystery reopened

An after-dark break-in at Crescent Valley United High School opens a trail into a decades-old dispute over missing fundraiser money. The Young Investigators find a message beneath the paint of long-unused Locker 214, then follow clues hidden around the school alongside an old photograph and the story of Daniel Huston, a student who left after being accused of theft. With someone else also looking for evidence and Detective Thompson guiding the inquiry, the case links a present-day investigation to a question that has lingered for thirty years: what really happened?

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in school-based mysteries.
  • Readers who enjoy young investigator teams and clues tied to a school’s past.
  • Readers looking for a clean, nonviolent young adult mystery.

Book overview

Someone broke into Crescent Valley United High School after dark.

Nothing was stolen. Only one locker was opened. Locker 214 has been unused for years, but beneath layers of old paint, the Young Investigators discover a message scratched into the metal:

CHECK THE CLOCK.

The clue leads Jake, Emily, Amy, Max, Mia, and Chip into a thirty-year-old mystery involving missing fundraiser money, an old photograph, and Daniel Huston, . He was a student who left Crescent Valley after being blamed for a theft he insisted he did not commit.

As the team follows a trail hidden throughout the school, they begin to realize someone else is searching for the same evidence.

With Detective Thompson guiding the investigation, the six friends must uncover what really happened that night before the last pieces of the past disappear.

Locker 214 has been silent for thirty years.

Now it may finally tell the truth.
