The Case of the Phony Permission Slip: The Anna & Ava Detective Agency, Book 8 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798248490998)

The truth doesn't always look perfect. But that doesn't make it false.

When a field trip permission slip is accused of being forged, Marcus Reed becomes the center of a hallway storm. The signature looks uneven. His reputation isn't spotless. And suddenly, everyone seems certain.

Except Anna and Ava.

The Anna & Ava Detective Agency doesn't solve cases with guesses-they solve them with observation, patience, and proof. As whispers spread through the cafeteria and assumptions harden into belief, the sisters must answer a harder question:

Does someone's past decide their guilt before evidence does?

What begins as a handwriting mystery becomes something deeper-a case about trust, reputation, and the weight of history. With careful investigation, honest conversations, and one crucial phone call, Anna and Ava discover that sometimes the real mystery isn't ink on paper-

It's whether people are willing to wait for the truth.

Perfect for readers ages 7-11, The Case of the Phony Permission Slip is a thoughtful, classroom-centered mystery that explores integrity, accountability, and how trust is built... and rebuilt.

Because assumptions are easy.

Confirmation takes courage.
