Description
On a golden late-summer afternoon, a backyard fort, a broken toy car, and a game of frisbee seem like the perfect ingredients for a carefree day. Sahara, Mella, Morgan, Trae, Mariah, and their loyal French Bulldog, Bentley, are enjoying the rare peace-no puzzles to solve, no clues to chase, just laughter under the oak trees. But when an eerie stillness falls over the yard-silencing sparrows, stilling leaves, and freezing even Bentley's playful energy-the friends feel a chill in the warm air. Something unseen is watching. Something is about to happen. From moments of innocent fun to the sudden stirrings of suspense, this gripping tale blends friendship, clever teamwork, and a creeping mystery that will leave readers turning pages late into the night. Perfect for fans of The Mysterious Benedict Society and Nancy Drew, this adventure proves that sometimes, the quietest moments hold the loudest secrets.
