One hour goes missing. Most people move on. Leo doesn't.
Between three and four o'clock on an ordinary school day, something strange happens-an entire hour disappears. No alarms. No explanations. And no one seems too concerned... except Leo.
As a young detective with a sharp eye for details others overlook, Leo begins to follow the clues: mixed-up schedules, quiet inconsistencies, and answers that don't quite add up. What he uncovers isn't just a mystery about time-but about honesty, responsibility, and the courage it takes to ask uncomfortable questions.
Leo the Detective: The Missing Hour is a thoughtful middle-grade mystery that encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and standing up for the truth-even when it's easier not to.
Perfect for readers ages 11-14 who enjoy smart mysteries, gentle suspense, and stories that stay with you long after the final page.
