The Case of the Aussie Adventure: A 15-Minute Brodericks Mystery, Educational Version

By Caitlind L. Alexander

"Well, this assignment won't be hard for me!" they heard a voice say. Cindy Raymond pushed her way into the small group.
Jamie noticed that she was dressed in the latest style. Her designer jeans even had crystals sewn onto the pockets in a fancy pattern. Her shirt was of the latest style and her hair had been styled at the beauty parlor. She even had polish on her fingernails.
Cindy was one of the richest kids in their school, and she always made sure everyone knew that.
Kendall glanced over toward the school buses. He wished he and Jamie rode the bus to school instead of their bikes. That would have given him an excuse to take off.

Find out what Cindy has to say and see if you can tell if she is telling the truth or not.
Teach kids logic and attention to detail with these fun, solve-it-yourself mysteries.
Educational Versions Include exercises designed to meet Common Core Standards.
For ages 8 and up.
