Description
Summary:"9:48 AM. Math class. Marlowe Middle School. Life isn't easy on the streets, er, hallways of Marlowe Middle School. Luckily, private eye Maya Mendoza never stops paying attention. She knows who is passing notes in class. Spots which teacher wore shoes a half-size too tight. And she certainly notices when her former best friend Jordan suddenly stops talking to her. Then, the legendary Contraband Closet is robbed. Every Hotwheels car, spray paint canister, bouncy ball, and other prized possession teachers have collected since the dawn of time are seemingly lost forever -- including an item of Jordan's. Suddenly, Maya sees a case that may set things back to the way it used to be because contraband -- and friendships -- don't vanish into thin air... right?" --
