  1. I am planning on writing a mystery with a lead detective named Ms. Snoopadakes who will be based on me. My character traits will include kindness, cheerfulness and humor. She will also have a crazy love of cooking. Her sidekick is named Mrs. O'Sleuthy who will be based on the funny and energetic Mrs. O'Connell. I am not sure what the case will be. I am thinking about maybe a missing iPad or even a missing student. Maybe the case will take place of a field trip. I am not sure. My setting will be based on The Kinkaid School. I will rename it, for sure. I don't know my suspects yet, but they will probably be a student, the principal and maybe a custodian.

  5. My story is about two kids named Sam and Cathy. The case was that a valuable trained falcon was stolen. My setting is on a one family lighthouse island. I don't have any suspects and i'm not sure there will be one, because if the island has only one family it would be pretty obvious if a new person started snooping around the island. Sam and Cathy stumble upon the case by accident when they hear about it on the news. They discover a falcon blinding in their woods and that is what puts them in the mystery.

  10. I am planning on writing a mystery. The name for my book is The missing Trophies. My lead detective is named Messi. Messi is based on the real soccer player of Argentina. The story came to me because I really like soccer. Messi's trates are that he is funny, he is smart and he like's to dress up in suits and ties so that he is notised. Messi loves soccer and is awesome at it. My sidekick is named Neymar. And my suspect is Ronaldo. Jerry is the bad guy. Jerry passes out the trophies and he knows the trophies are made of real gold. I think my story be about the world cup trophy and meddles. some one is going to take them away from Messi. The bad person wants to sell the trophies and take the money and be rich. I'm not sure how Ronaldo will be in the story. My setting will be at night and it involves a truck.

  12. I've already started my story. My setting is the beach. The main characters are Josephina, Adolyn, Rosemary, and Tara. They are all 17. The problem is that a Japanese vase goes missing from an old lady's house and she really needs it. The lady's name is Mrs. Kaiyo Hamasaki (by the way, I got that name from a name generator). The suspects will be Lily, the mischievous 11-year-old daughter of Mrs. Hamasaki's next door neighbor, Sam, the reporter who likes to stick his nose into other peoples' business, and Jerry, the cranky old man who is very greedy. I don't know who the culprit will be or what the clues will be yet.
