Luke, Duke & The Missing Fundraiser Money Book One of the Luke & Duke Mystery Series
When the Maplewood Middle School bake sale fundraiser comes up short, twelve-year-old Luke Navarro doesn't panic. He observes. He takes notes. And he trusts his chocolate Labrador, Duke, to notice the things that even careful eyes miss.
Luke isn't like other kids. He runs a second track - a quiet, constant current of observation beneath everyday life. Duke runs one too, in his own language of scent and instinct. Together they make the most unlikely detective duo in their small town: one boy with a green notebook and the patience of someone twice his age, and one dog who always knows first.
When a missing envelope throws the whole school into suspicion, Luke and Duke begin their first real investigation. The clues are small. The stakes feel enormous. And somewhere in the middle of it all, a single sticky note points toward something larger - something that won't be resolved in one book.
The Missing Fundraiser Money is the first book in the Luke & Duke Mystery Series - a cozy middle-grade mystery series for readers aged 8 to 12 who love dogs, detective stories, and quiet heroes who notice everything.
Perfect for fans of:
Middle-grade mystery series with animal companions
Cozy mystery books for kids and tweens
Dog books for middle-grade readers
Gentle, character-driven detective fiction
Series starter books with satisfying standalone mysteries and a longer story arc
Also featuring: single mom Julia Navarro, whose own quiet story runs alongside her son's - and who is, in her own way, learning to take up space.
The mystery closes. The notebook fills up. Duke's tail does its one slow, certain wag.
Something else is coming.
