The Case of the Stolen Banner: The Anna & Ava Detective Agency, Book 11 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798248946822)

The Spring Festival is tomorrow... and the banner is gone.

When Anna and Ava arrive at Cedarbrook Park, they find an empty arch where the bright festival banner should be. Within minutes, the town is buzzing. Social media lights up. Fingers start pointing. Teenagers are blamed. A new volunteer becomes suspicious.

But Anna notices something others miss.

The rope wasn't cut.

The hooks aren't damaged.

The banner wasn't ripped down.

It was removed.

As assumptions spread faster than facts, the Anna & Ava Detective Agency steps in to confirm the timeline, examine the method, and slow the growing staircase of blame. What they uncover isn't vandalism-it's a well-intentioned decision interrupted by silence.

In this thoughtful, real-world mystery, Anna and Ava show that solving a case isn't just about finding what's missing. It's about protecting people from assumptions and proving that facts matter more than rumors.

Perfect for readers ages 7-12 who love:

• Smart, observant girl detectives
• Realistic school and community mysteries
• Stories about fairness, empathy, and teamwork
• Mysteries solved through logic-not magic

The banner will hang again.

But the lesson the town learns might matter even more.
