Rumour had it Anton's deceased Grandfather owned rare and valuable Bulgarian stamps. By accident Anton discovers a booklet on rare stamps with a code - hidden in his Grandfathers silver walking stick. A set of rare Bulgarian stamps has been circled in red ink. Anton recruits Jason, Julie and Luke to help him solve the mystery. Did his Grandfather circle the stamps? Did he own them? Will the code reveal the whereabouts of the stamps? Plenty of work for the Kid Detectives. It does not take long for the team to realise they have competition in the search for the stamps. An unknown person or persons is determined to get the stamps before the kids do - and will resort to shady tactics to win.

Riddle of the Silver Walking Stick - Ross Thompson
A READY- MADE MYSTERY
B ored! How can you be bored Luke? It’s the first day of the holidays – and only halfway through the first day – and you’re complaining of boredom?
I get bored quickly Jason.
"Boredom is just an attitude of mind. Try repeating ‘I am not bored’ a few times.
I am not bored, I am not bored,
Silence for a few seconds. It didn’t work – I’m still bored.
Jason’s’ phone sounded the tone for an incoming text message. He grabbed it out of his pocket. It’s from Julie.
***Look at Leader np - help wanted section*** np, that ‘ll be newspaper.
Luke headed for the door, I think we’ve got the latest Leader community paper somewhere. I’ll have a look.
Luke left his bedroom and returned quickly – paper in hand. He laid the paper on his bed and the two of them peered at it for the advertisement section. Help wanted was on the second last page. They saw it immediately *** ‘Student wants two other students to help solve a mystery’*** The last line was a phone number.
Hey! a ready-made mystery!
Jason whooped.
Luke grinned,
Now I am not bored! Let’s text him."
It might be a her,
Jason warned.
Oh! Yeah, I didn’t think of that.
Let’s do it, Jason said, Julie will be with us, that will make it easier if it’s a girl.
And we’ll have to tell him or her there are three of us. We work as a team.
Luke added.
Jason sent the text ***we are students willing to help with your mystery***
The reply came back within one minute. ***cool, can you meet me at Hooper park tomorrow 1pm? ***
Jason replied ***we’ll be there, see you then***
*** OK, I will wear jacket with my name Anton***
Luke looked relieved, Cool, Anton is a boys’ name
Jason sent Julie the details. Her reply was quick, ***OK see you then***
HOOPER PARK WAS ON the other side of town – closer to Julies house. Luke and Jason made it in 40 minutes on their skateboards. It was a sure thing on the School holidays the park would be swarming with kids. The boys picked out Julie standing near the gate and waved.
Jason jerked his thumb towards a boy sitting on a bench, That might be Anton.
Luke nodded Yeah, let’s get a closer look at that Jacket.
Julie caught up
