Glowfly often feels insignificant because its glow seems too small to matter in the vast, dark world.

One day, his best friend Mia Carter, who was athletic and intelligent, joined him at the office. The two shared a passion for solving mysteries, making them an unbeatable team.

Junior immediately jumped into action. At the library, Mrs. Lambert, the librarian, explained that the book she had left on a table had gone missing. Junior carefully surveyed the room, paying attention to the people and the objects. Something seemed off, and he was determined to find out what. Junior and Mia began questioning visitors.

Junior smiled when he found the missing book hidden at the bottom of Baxter’s bag. Mr. Baxter admitted he had planned to sell it but never intended to get caught.
