The Girl Who Vanished at Recess: A Fall Shadows Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798271263590)

Some vanish without a trace. Others leave a whisper behind.

When seventh-grader Imani Cross goes missing during recess, everyone at Lincoln Middle School pretends nothing is wrong. Only Theo, the quiet kid, notices the swing still moving after the wind stops.

Only Theo refuses to believe she wandered off.

He finds Imani's sketchbook under a library shelf. It is full of strange codes, maps of hallways that shouldn't exist, and a drawing of a locked door. With his friend Ava, Theo follows Imani's trail through hidden rooms and uncovers secrets no one talks about.

As they get closer to the truth, things become more dangerous. Someone does not want Imani's story to be told.

If Theo keeps searching, he might disappear as well.

This is a haunting middle-grade mystery of courage, friendship, and quiet bravery.

This book is for fans of mysteries with a spooky feel. It mixes heart, suspense, and excitement to keep readers hooked until the last page. Experience the chill that lingers after lights-out, a unique thrill that sets this story apart from other spooky tales.

This story is about listening, remembering, and standing up for those who are overlooked. It shows that even quiet voices can make a big difference.

If you like haunting school stories, secret clues, and brave kids who refuse to stay silent, you'll love The Girl Who Vanished at Recess.
