Middle school retrieval specialist Jeremy Wilderson must team up with preteen private detective Becca Mills once again to solve his most mind-boggling case yet in this action-packed MAX novel.
Ahh, summer vacation! Jeremy Wilderson, Scottsville Middle Schoolâs first (and only) retrieval specialist, is enjoying a slower-than-usual season of retrieving (NOT stealing) lost objects in order to help the under thirteen population of Scottsville.
But crime doesnât take a vacation! And when sabotage strikes Scottsvilleâs event of the yearâthe Summer Art Showâthreatening to ruin the burgeoning painting career of Jeremyâs best friend, Case, itâs up to Jeremy to figure out whatâs going on. Of course, his archrival Becca Mills, who just happens to think Jeremy, Case, and their friend Hack are involved in the crime, is also looking into it.
Jeremy has only a few precious hours to stop the sabotage before more contest entriesâand kidsâ dreamsâare slashed and burned.
But Jeremyâs specialty is retrievalâŠnot detective work! The only solution is to team up with Becca to solve the case, something Jeremyâs not exactly thrilled to do. Not to mention, he has to keep his alliance with Becca a secret from Case and Hack, who will disown him if they see him working with the enemy. Somewhere between being stuck inside an air vent and slathered in red paint, Jeremy has to wonder: is he in over his head?
