Dominik Mikulaschek: The case: Missing lunchboxes, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In **"The Case: Missing Lunchboxes"**, an ordinary school morning at Regelberg Elementary suddenly turns into a full-blown mystery. What begins as one missing lunch quickly becomes a strange case of disappearing snacks, suspicious rules, and a hallway full of clues. This is a **funny and exciting detective children's book for ages 8 and up**, packed with school chaos, teamwork, and a mystery that keeps young readers turning the pages.

Milo Mertens (9) notices right away that something is wrong: his lunchbox is gone. Not misplaced. Not forgotten. Gone. A few minutes later, his friend Tarik "Turbo" Tan discovers that his emergency banana has also vanished. Two missing snacks in just a few minutes? Milo knows this is no coincidence. It is a case.

Together with their sharp and super-organized friend Fina Fuchs, who is always ready with her notebook and quick observations, the three kids launch their own investigation. They search lockers, scan the hallway for clues, and begin collecting evidence. Crumbs on the floor, strange timing, nervous reactions, and too many new rules all point to one thing: someone is hiding something.

Then things get even stranger when **Inspector Dr. Ordnung** from the "Office for Quiet & Rules" appears with his clipboard, warning vest, and a brand-new sign announcing **LUNCH SECURITY - LEVEL 1**. Suddenly, there are new procedures, new restrictions, and a suspicious "Project Lunch Security" that seems to appear exactly when the lunchboxes start disappearing. Coincidence? Milo, Fina, and Turbo do not think so.

As the mystery grows, the three young detectives must work together to follow clues, ask the right questions, and stay one step ahead of the adults. Who is stealing the lunches? Why are the rules getting stricter? And what is really behind Project Lunch Security? With every clue, the case becomes funnier, trickier, and more exciting.
