The Midnight Footprints

Ages 6–9 7 Chapters Live on Amazon

Glowing green footprints appear across the school playground before sunrise—and vanish when daylight touches them. As rumors of the 'Oak Creek Ghost' spread and threaten the Science Fair, Leo, Max, and Maya race to find a real explanation.

About This Mystery

Open the case

A strange trail on the blacktop looks impossible: bright green footprints that disappear in sunlight. While the whole school whispers about a ghost, the trio investigates with Leo's logbook, Maya's UV light, and Max's fearless curiosity. Their search leads from the playground to the supply shed and eventually to the very ordinary cause behind an extraordinary-looking mystery. The Midnight Footprints is a playful case about separating rumors from evidence and staying curious when everyone else is ready to believe the impossible.
