The Mystery of the Missing Jewels
Detective Duo Ned and Uncle Jim Book 1
by Jessica Leigh Stevens
Genre
Middle Grade Mystery Adventure
This fun and exciting middle school mystery series sees Ned and his
Uncle Jim use their super-sharp detective skills to solve mysteries
in Lakeside. Incidentally, both are dyslexic. But that’s not going
to stop them! Dyslexia might present some challenges with spelling
and reading, but it also makes them great at solving puzzles,
cracking codes and thinking outside the box. Armed with these
superpowers, they make the perfect team for solving mysteries.
Ned
and his uncle Jim, a retired detective, live in Lakeside Village.
It’s a quiet place where nothing much seems to happen…or at
least, that was the case. Now, there are mysterious events and they
all seem to center around a cold case Uncle Jim had been working on
before he retired.
On top of that, treasures are
disappearing from the Cheap and Cheerful, a second-hand goods store.
But who would want to steal from the owner? Uncle Jim and Ned find
hidden secrets and uncover even stranger happenings than just the
theft. Why are there unusual sets of footprints? What is the
significance of the feather they find? And why does the owner of the
shop suddenly seem suspicious?
It’s up to Ned and Uncle
Jim to use their detective skills and dyslexic advantages to discover
the person behind the thefts and maybe even crack the cold case.
However, it might be more than the two can handle.
Will
Ned’s detective career be over before it really starts?
