His crime?... When two priceless Carnival Golden Tickets vanish from Oakridge Middle School, invisible-kid-turned-candy-smuggler Toby Schuger becomes suspect number one - forcing him to team up with a cookie-bribed broom-closet detective and the sixth-grade girl Chloe he accidentally framed to clear his name before Friday's locker search exposes his entire illegal chocolate empire. Their trail of clues - a jammed lock, a mystery countdown ball, and a hollow-eyed school mascot stuffed with stolen loot - leads to a shocking culprit and a live, school-wide broadcast threatening to shred the last real ticket on camera. With nine minutes on the clock, Toby has to choose between grabbing the glory or finally telling the truth - in a fast, funny middle-grade mystery about candy, cover-ups, and learning that being noticed isn't always the disaster it seems.
