When Fairview Middle's beloved raccoon mascot costume disappears days before the big championship game, sixth-grader Liam Carter finally gets the real-life mystery he's been waiting for. No mascot means no pep rally-and maybe no game-unless Liam and his friends can crack the case.
Armed with a notebook, a magnifying glass, and way too many suspects, the Mascot Mystery Club chases clues through locker rooms, spirit meetings, and even a rival school. But the closer they get, the more Liam discovers this isn't just a prank-it's about someone who'd rather hide than be laughed at.
Can three kid detectives find the costume and give the culprit a second chance before Fairview loses its school spirit for good?
