Lantern Ridge Elementary is preparing for its annual Thanksgiving program, and the centerpiece is impossible to miss. A giant Thankful Tree stands in the auditorium, covered with colorful paper leaves written by students throughout the school.
Then one morning, the tree is gone.
There are no broken locks, no obvious thief, and no sign that anyone disturbed the other decorations nearby. Mallory, Tito, Jasmine, and Reynolds are determined to find out what happened.
Their investigation leads them to a torn orange leaf, an old request form, and a message that seems to mean much more than anyone first realized. As the Lantern Kids follow the clues, they begin to understand that finding the missing tree may only be part of the mystery.
What they discover leads them beyond the school and into a story about kindness, gratitude, and the importance of remembering people who can sometimes be overlooked.
Filled with friendship, humor, clues, and plenty of Lantern Ridge heart, The Case of the Missing Thankful Tree is a cozy Thanksgiving mystery about how one small act of kindness can reach farther than anyone expects.
Four friends. One town. Another mystery waiting to be solved.
