A missing masterpiece. A celebration on the line.
It's Cinco de Mayo and the Cozy Chess Club is ready to celebrate-until disaster strikes. The first graders' beautiful Heroes of Mexico display has vanished, leaving twenty-five little artists in tears. With the big celebration just hours away, can Jasmine, Dondre, Abbie, Zack, and Carlos crack the case in time?
As the friends race through the school following clues, they discover that nothing is quite what it seems. A frazzled student council president. A suspicious classmate. Strange, spooky sounds are echoing through the halls. And Carlos is calling on his grandfather's magic to help crack the case.
Using the same logical thinking they've learned from chess, the young detectives must piece together the puzzle before time runs out. Along the way, they'll discover that even the prickliest people can surprise you-and that working together can turn any challenge into a victory.
Featuring the Mexican Defense chess opening, fun vocabulary words, and a celebration of Mexican culture and history, this cozy mystery is perfect for young readers who love puzzles, friendship, and a dash of magic.
The Cozy Chess Club Mysteries combine kid-friendly mysteries with chess strategy, proving that the same skills that win games can also solve real-life puzzles!
