Fan-favorite detective Drew Leclair returns to crack the case of a sneaky locker thief in this heartfelt sequel to the critically acclaimed middle grade mystery series that's been called "the perfect story for readers ready to progress from Nancy Drew." (SLJ, starred review).

After breaking school rules the last time she solved a mystery, Drew Leclair has a new mission: get good grades, stay under the radar, and do not get suspended.

But when Drew finds out that there's a thief breaking into the P.E. lockers and leaving behind cryptic ransom notes, it's hard to resist cracking a new case. Especially when one of the victims is her best friend Shrey's crush, and he's practically begging her to get involved.

Can Drew catch the thief red-handed while staying out of trouble? And what does it mean when everyone around Drew is obsessing over crushes and the upcoming Wonderland dance, and Drew would rather work on her latest crime board?

      Starred review from May 1, 2023
      Middle school detectives confront locker thefts and ransom notes. Drew Leclair, future FBI profiler and current seventh grader, does not want to get into trouble like she did after her last successful sleuthing outing (Drew Leclair Gets a Clue, 2022). That's how you get suspended from school and don't get to go to Quantico. But who else can investigate these serial thefts? All kinds of kids--mostly kids who don't have a lot of money but who saved up for something special--are getting treasured items stolen right out of their lockers at school. A couple of the crimes have even been accompanied by threatening letters created from cut-and-pasted newsprint. There has never been a better excuse to pull out thumbtacks and red thread for Drew's crime board. Meanwhile Drew struggles with her feelings about Alix Chang, because while Drew's known for a while that she's probably bisexual, she's still pretty sure that she's not going to become interested in actual kissing. Drew, who has asthma and anxiety, is one of the few White students in a setting diverse in race and sexual identity and orientation that also includes students who are physically disabled. A funny, likable cast of characters inspects the evidence to solve a mystery together, culminating with an excellent use of glitter. Humorous, charming, and a win for mystery fans. (Mystery. 9-12)
