On the Case

Maddie has turned super sleuth!
Every week, Madison can’t wait for her favorite show, Crime Time—she loves mysteries and knows she would make a great detective. So when her flute teacher’s priceless sheet music goes missing, Maddie decides to solve the case. As she collects the clues and compiles the list of suspects, Maddie realizes that the thief could be anyone! But soon, playing detective starts to get in the way of Maddie’s friendships, and snooping around takes her to places she doesn’t belong. Is there even a real crime to be solved, or is this just Maddie’s overactive imagination running wild?
