Franklin Nicholas is a curious 11-year-old with a sharp eye for detail-and an unexpected knack for solving mysteries. In this exciting kids' chapter book set in Tokyo, Japan, Franklin stumbles onto a cryptic message in a museum, a hotel robot that knows his name, and a cultural adventure full of twists and turns.
With his notebook in hand and a travel-loving heart, Franklin uses logic and observation to connect clues no one else can see. Perfect for fans of The Mysterious Benedict Society or The Hardy Boys, this diverse middle grade novel centers a smart Black boy who thinks differently-and turns that difference into strength.
Ideal for ages 9-12, this book blends global learning with neurodivergent-friendly storytelling and bonus activities to encourage reflection and engagement.
