A Scottish village. A high-tech billionaire thief. And two twelve-year-olds armed with a bag of breakfast cereal and a dream.
The Aiden Adventures: Thief in the MistThe sleepy, seaweed-scented Scottish village of Wallace Glen usually smells like fresh morning pies and salty sea air. But today, it smells like a mystery.
When a 200-year-old Jacobite relic is stolen from the local bakery through a perfectly cut circle in the glass window, twelve-year-old detective-at-heart Aiden is instantly on the case. Armed with boundless enthusiasm and a knack for spotting clues the local police overlook, Aiden drags his highly anxious, hyperventilating best friend, Iain, into a high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse.
The prime suspect? Mr. Vance, a smooth-talking, luxury-SUV-driving tourist who claims he is only in town to watch birds. But Aiden knows the truth: the stolen iron scoop is just the first of the legendary Five Keys of the Glen-historical artifacts that map the way to a long-lost Jacobite gold cache.
With the local constable dismissing their theories as adventure serial stories, Aiden and Iain are officially forced to go rogue. When the thief sets his sights on a family heirloom inside Iain's grandad's blacksmith shop, the boys realize they are running out of time.
Trapped inside the dark workshop as a thick Atlantic fog rolls in, the duo must combine Aiden's bold tactical instincts with Iain's genius engineering brain. Using a multi-layered trap grid made of physics, geometry, a falling boat sail, and an industrial-sized bag of premium milling oats, two middle-schoolers are about to show an elite international cyber-thief exactly how the neighborhood watch handles business.
Perfect for fans of fast-paced mysteries, clever gadgets, and hilarious dynamic duos, Thief in the Mist proves that you don't need a badge to solve a crime-sometimes, you just need absolute tactical precision.
Why Middle Grade Readers (and Parents) Will Love This Book:A Perfect Dynamic Duo: Aiden's fearless laser beam focus perfectly balances Iain's laugh-out-loud, color-coded anxiety and scientific genius.
High-Stakes, Tech-vs-Traditional Trap Action: Think Home Alone meets the rugged Scottish Highlands, featuring a brilliant, high-voltage electromagnetic climax.
Atmospheric & Immersive Setting: Richly captures the foggy, cozy, and mysterious charm of a small coastal Scottish village.
Will Aiden and Iain secure the artifacts and clear their names, or will they end up looking like very angry badgers sanding boat hulls for the rest of the summer? Scroll up and grab your copy today to find out!
