Jay Walker: The Case of the Missing Action Figure

Looking for a mystery? Something for kids with some suspense? Jay Walker is like a young James Bond, a spy, back when James Bond was in elementary school. Think of Sherlock Holmes and 007, but in 4th grade. Filled with adventure, and action, the Jay Walker series is ideal for reluctant readers, and kids ages 6 - 12.

Jay Walker is an average and simple fourth grade student. He likes to brown-bag his lunch, prefers his PB & J sandwich cut diagonally, with the crusts cut off. All of that changes when Benny, a kid Jay's known since preschool, comes to him for help. Daisy Flyer's been kidnapped. A ransom note's been left behind. Since Jay's dad is a police officer, Benny is certain Jay can solve the crime. But who is Daisy Flyer? She's a two-foot tall action figure from a once-popular science fiction movie. If the demands of the ransom note aren't met, the whole school is going to learn that Benny plays with dolls. What does the kid, er-uh, doll-napper want in return? Benny's Princess Migloo Alien-evolving trading card--one of the most rare and powerful cards in the game.
