Something is stealing lunches… and no one ever sees it happen.
When Ethan’s cookies disappear, it’s easy to brush it off.
But when it happens again—and then to other kids—he knows something strange is going on.
With his best friend Amaya, Ethan starts tracking every clue.
Who goes near the cubbies.
What moves when no one is looking.
And why everything is taken so neatly… like whoever did it was trying not to be noticed.
At first, it feels like a simple school mystery.
But the deeper they dig, the less it makes sense.
Things move on their own.
Clues appear when they shouldn’t.
And sometimes… it feels like someone is right there with them.
Not scary.
Just… unseen.
As Ethan and Amaya follow the clues, they uncover something no one expected—a forgotten story hidden inside their school, and a mystery that was never really about missing food at all.
Funny, clever, and full of heart, this is a mystery kids won’t want to put down.
My Review:
🌟🌟🌟🌟
Gentle and unexpected
Four Point Four Stars
This simple mystery manages to be both hilariously lighthearted and surprisingly profound. By framing its "ghostly" culprit through the lens of being unseen, it explores loneliness in a way that feels uniquely different and relatable for young readers. It transforms a simple missing lunch (actually three of them) into a deep reflection on what it means to be noticed, proving that even a children's book can tackle heavy emotions with a gentle, clever touch. Unique read for children.
