2nd Grade Sleuths Solve Swimming Pool Mystery

Hello, readers, and happy new year!

Do you like a good mystery? Break out your magnifying glass, put on your detective cap, and help us investigate. On January 12, 2nd graders will meet to discuss The Swimming Pool Mystery, book two in The Whodunit Detective Agency series by Martin Widmark.

The books in The Whodunit Detective Agency series are set in the little town of Pleasant Valley. The main characters, Jerry and Maya, are classmates and close friends who run a small detective agency together. This story takes place at Christmastime, and the town is getting ready to celebrate. But when all the lockers at the Pleasant Valley swimming pool are emptied during the Big Holiday Swim, it looks like Christmas won't be very merry. Once again, Jerry and Maya use their super sleuthing skills to help the police chief track down the mysterious thief.
