Maddie, Lucy, and Max are best friends-and officially detectives (even if they're the only ones who know it). When a prop containing money goes missing from the school's play, fingers start pointing in the wrong direction. Posters go up. Whispers spread. Lucy grabs her notebook. Max brings his scientific "research" skills. Maddie notices what others overlook. Together, the Bond Street Detectives follow the clues through crowded hallways, secretive classrooms, and a buzzing lunchroom to uncover the truth. But solving this mystery in time for opening night will take more than magnifying glasses and stakeouts. It will take courage, loyalty, and the kind of friendship that stands strong when things get tough. Full of humor, heart, and high-stakes hallway drama, The Bond Street Detectives is a story about inclusion, justice, and three friends who prove that everyone deserves to be seen-and believed. "Shining with kindness and acceptance, this wondrous tale will not only make young readers laugh and want to keep turning pages but will subtly encourage them to see [others] for who they truly are and appreciate ... those who seem different." - Karen Dukess, bestselling author of Welcome to Murder Week
