Four students. One empty trophy case. A mystery Hawthorne Middle has been keeping since 1989.
The glass trophy case at the end of Hawthorne Middle School's hallway has displayed generations of victories. But when one of its most important trophies suddenly disappears, Tessa, Luca, Maya, and Jaden notice something everyone else seems willing to overlook.
The four students do not appear to have much in common. Each is already trying to manage the pressures of school, the complications of family life, and the uneasy feeling that no one truly understands what they are going through. But a trail of overlooked clues-including a forgotten photograph, a mysterious 1989 nameplate, and pieces of Hawthorne's history that no longer seem to fit together-brings them into an unexpected alliance.
As they search for answers, the students begin to realize that the missing trophy is only part of the mystery. Someone's story has been forgotten, and uncovering the truth could change the way Hawthorne remembers its past.
To solve the case, Tessa, Luca, Maya, and Jaden will have to trust one another, find the courage to speak up, and become the team none of them expected to need.
Warm, suspenseful, and filled with relatable moments from school and family life, The Hawthorne Files: The Missing Trophy is a character-driven middle-grade mystery about friendship, belonging, and making sure every story is heard.
Perfect for readers ages 9-14 who enjoy school mysteries, memorable friendships, hidden history, and adventures with heart.
