THIRTEEN CLUES #2

When Ginger left for school her room was as neat as a pin. She even posted a picture on Facebook. When she came home someone had made a mess of it and she can't even tell what's missing. She calls in Detective Brown to solve THE CASE OF THE TOSSED ROOM.

It's obvious to Detective Brown that someone took something and then tossed the room so it wouldn't be noticed. But what did they take? And why? Can you help Detective Brown find what's missing so he can solve the case? He has three suspects:

Her little brother, Tommy.

Her mother.                                             

Her twin sister Cinnamon.

MORNING

AFTERNOON

HAVE YOU FOUND IT? IF SO SCROLL DOWN.

GOOD JOB! The missing object is her new paperback mystery, THE SCRAPBOOK RIDDLE. Detective Brown confronts Cinnamon who confesses that she took the book because she wanted to read it first. "Ginger always ruins a good mystery by blurting out the ending right when I'm in the middle of it," complained Cinnamon. "I would have given back after I was done."

Yet again Detective Brown successfully solves another case.
