by ten whole minutes, which is a lot of minutes,

and I didn’t think he would be such a great

big help.

Our case was the bestest. The librarian, Mrs.

Robinson, had lost the key to the library. We found

it. That made us investigators, which made me

so happy. Especially because investigator rimes

ryms rhymes with alligator, and I love those.

Today was going to be an even better, more

exciting day. Today Connor and I were going to

solve another mystery. I was excited because I

didn’t know what kind of mystery it would be. But

that wasn’t why I had butterflies in my stomach.

I had butterflies in my stomach because Connor

and I had to practice our magic trick for our

family talent night.

Family talent night is about learning to do

something unyoushal unujual unusual or cool.

Dad calls iteveryday magic. Once a month,

Mom and Dad decorate our living room with

colored lights and put on old-folks’ music. Then

we have a contest to see who can perform the

coolest trick. Last month Dad won, because

he fit thirty cheese crackers in his mouth. The

time before, Mom won for making a hula hoop

spin around her waist for a million years!

Okay, maybe not that long, but it was a long

time! Connor and I are determined to win this

family talent night. We are going to practice and

practice and practice until we are the bestest.

At least, we were going to practice as soon

as we figured out what trick to do. “I think I

should saw you in half,” I said. “That would be

a great trick.”

“No way.” Connor shook his head. “You’re

clumsy and klutzy and—”
