The Petrov bakery has been locked for six months.
So why does it smell of fresh bread at five in the morning?
Zara smells it on her way to the library. She hears the oven. She stands on the pavement in a puddle and opens her notebook.
The mystery leads the Maple Street Detective Club through a narrow alley, a flour footprint on a back step, a hand-stitched cloth bag with two embroidered initials, and a stone-ground flour supplier on Bury Road. At the end of the trail waits a letter from the Petrovs that changes everything they thought they were investigating.
Because this mystery was never about a crime.
Perfect for readers ages 7-10, this heartwarming chapter book includes:
- 15 engaging mystery chapters
- 5 interactive reader puzzles
- A gentle, character-driven mystery with no violence
- Themes of friendship, kindness, empathy, and community
- Ideal for independent readers and family read-alouds
