Dominik Mikulaschek: Schoolyard Alarm: The Missing Cup, Gebunden

Klappentext

In **"Schoolyard Alarm: The Missing Cup"** the Ruleberg Elementary School is turned upside down in a single morning. What should be a normal Tuesday starts with a suspiciously quiet hallway, a tower of cardboard boxes that definitely shouldn't be there, and one tiny "just a quick look" moment that triggers a legendary chain reaction. Milo feels it instantly: when the school is *too quiet*, the universe is preparing a prank. Fina, who loves logic and perfect plans, wants only one thing-get to class with zero drama. And Turbo? Turbo is always hungry, always curious, and always the person who accidentally presses the big red button of chaos.

When Turbo reaches for something shiny on top of the box tower, everything collapses. Boxes fall. A bucket of soapy water flips. The floor turns into an ice rink. A heavy red curtain rips down-right in front of the most dangerous audience possible: **Principal Zinn** and **Inspector Order** from the ominous "Office of Calm & Rules." In seconds, Milo, Fina and Turbo look like the main suspects in a full-scale school disaster. And this time, the adults aren't laughing.

Because instead of a normal punishment, Ruleberg introduces something new. Something bigger. Something scary and completely unfair: **the Super-System**-a strict discipline program with escalating levels and consequences. Level Yellow, Level Orange, Level Red. Warnings become records. Mistakes become "offenses." And even tiny things-laughing, running, whispering, being "too energetic"-suddenly feel like criminal acts. The school atmosphere changes overnight: quieter, colder, and full of rules that seem designed to trap kids instead of helping them learn.

Turbo is the first one to get marked, of course. And once a name lands in the system, it's hard to escape. Milo starts to worry that one more accident could push them to the next level. Fina immediately sees the bigger problem: this isn't about discipline-it's about control. A system like that doesn't need real guilt. It only needs a reason to escalate.

Then the real mystery hits: **the school's most important trophy disappears.** The Missing Cup. The one everyone knows. The one that represents pride, victory, and school tradition. Suddenly the chaos isn't just a mess in the hallway-it's a case. And guess who becomes the perfect target for suspicion? Milo, Fina and Turbo. The "trouble trio." The kids everyone already expects to be guilty.

So they do the only thing they can do: they start their own investigation. They collect clues. They question what really happened. They watch the adults. They try to outsmart a system that wants them silent, obedient, and blame-ready. And they race against time-because if they can't prove the truth, the Super-System will level them up... step by step... until there's no way back.
