Mystery of the Turtle Snatcher - Kyla Steinkraus
Megan the Big Meanie
On the third day of the third month of the third grade, I handed out birthday invitations to all the kids in room 113. I made them myself with pink glitter glue, sparkles, and little squares of colored lace.

My name is Tulena Clarissa Warren the first, but Mom and everybody else call me Tully. Mom says I am a fashionista, which means I really, really like clothes. I love anything that is bright, sparkly, glittery, striped, polka dotted, lacy, or fluffy. Today I wore my furry pink vest over a green rainbow T-shirt with a jean skirt and blue leggings dotted with pink circles.
We had just come back to class after first recess. Kids were still getting drinks from the drinking fountain and grabbing their English books out of their lockers. Our teacher, Miss Flores, was busy shuffling papers at her desk, so I knew we had a few minutes for visiting.

It was also a lucky thing because the five of us are the members of the Gumshoe Gang. Mr. Sleuth, the school secretary, gave us that nickname since we solve so many of the mysteries that occur at Watson Elementary. And let me tell you, there are a lot. A gumshoe is a detective who cracks cases, which was a good thing because there was no way I was ever going to put gum on my favorite pair of purple sneakers.
Oh, thank you!
Lyra said when I gave her the invite. Can I borrow one of your beautiful dresses?
Lyra was an amazing singer. She could sometimes be so loud you wanted to clap your hands over your ears, but she made up for it by being a great friend.
Of course, Lyra,
I said.
When is the party?
Caleb asked, squinting at the invitation. "These letters are so squiggly I can’t even
