    About this audiobook

    From tracking down her best friend, who's nowhere to be found, to secretly helping her attorney father solve a missing-person case, Madison Kincaid is a busy seventh-grade sleuth. Teaming up with new classmate Jake, she hits the sidewalks of Portland, Oregon, determined to find out what's behind two mysterious vanishing acts.

    In his first book for young readers, New York Times bestselling author Phillip Margolin and his daughter, Ami Margolin Rome, deliver a fast-paced, compelling mystery that's perfect for reluctant readers and sure to appeal to fans of Masterpiece, The Calder Game, and Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer.

      Madison is dealing with a new junior high school, an distracted single-parent father, missing best friend, and a soccer leader who wants her off the team. She is also strongly interested in learning everything she can about becoming a Defense Attorney, like her father. While she is confident on the soccer field, when Jake, a new boy, pays attention to her she is unsure of what it means. She does have a confidant in her father's elderly secretary and asks her how to "know if someone is your boyfriend instead of just a friend?" She and Jake attempt to solve a missing person her father's client is accused of murdering (getting into hot water for some of their actions while doing so) and to find Madison's missing best friend.
