🔍 The Mystery of the Black-Gloved Thief
🕵️♂️ One mystery. Three kids. Zero idea what they’re doing.
But that’s never stopped neighborhood private eye Jack Jones before…
When a stack of priceless baseball cards disappears from his best friend's room, Jack takes the case. But this isn’t just a simple theft. The deeper he digs, the weirder things get—
🚨 Secret messages
🎳 Exploding bowling balls
🥤 Soda cans hiding suspicious cameras
🧤 And a mysterious villain known only as… the Black Glove.
As the list of victims grows and the clues pile up, Jack must sort fact from fiction and bravado from bravery. His reluctant team includes Norman, the unjustly accused, and Jennifer—the sharp, no-nonsense captain of the girls’ lacrosse team who might be smarter (and tougher) than Jack himself, and Austin — a daring limo driver who might have been the expert wheelman who took the fall for a criminal.
Jack follows the clues —and uncovers a criminal plot bigger than anything he expected.
Oh, and his mom might just be a secret agent. No big deal. 😳
✨ Fast-paced, hilarious, and packed with heart, Mystery of the Black-Gloved Thief blends classic detective flair with middle school chaos. Told with deadpan humor, breakneck pacing, and a narrator who thinks he’s two steps ahead (but is usually one step behind), Mystery of the Black-Gloved Thief is a middle grade adventure perfect for fans of Spy School, Mac B., Kid Spy, and The Last Kids on Earth.
