Fishnapped!

Do you see the hand about to plunge into the fishbowl? Yes, this is a story about a fish being... well... fishnapped.

"Edgar Allan's Official Crime Investigation Notebook" by Mary Amato is about how the class pet and other items are mysteriously disappearing from Edgar's class and more mysteriously the thief is leaving notes, in poetry, to give clues. Edgar is determined to discover who the thief is and is using his powers of observation, recorded in his notebook, to figure how who looks and acts guilty.

He also has an arch rival, Patrick, who is also hot on the trail to discover the thief with the help of his scientist father. However, as Edgar narrows down his suspects, he actually discovers his prime suspects are classmates he really likes! Hmm this does complicate things.

Slow to start but good at the end. Try it.
