When Juno Joness (Former Kid Who Doesnt Like Reading), first-ever favourite book goes missing, she convinces Miss Tippett to turn their classroom into a courtroom so she can present her evidence, unmask the culprit andmore importantlyget her book back! With her list of possible suspects ranging from friends to foes (both human and alien), Juno is sure its only a matter of time before the truth is revealed. But as the case unfolds, this book sleuth discovers that not everything is as it seems and even word ninjas need a helping hand sometimes! The Juno Jones series celebrates reading and is great for avid and reluctant readers alike. Juno Jones continues to take readers on a humorous, offbeat and highly imaginative journey through the world of books, words and literary concepts while celebrating the value of family and friendship.
