Max Mallory thinks he's the world's greatest detective. Spoiler: he's not.

When homework starts vanishing from every locker in Class 8B, Max leaps into action with wild theories, goofy disguises, and a rubber chicken he swears is essential to solving crimes. Alongside his ultra-organized best friend Zoey, Max digs into a mystery filled with glittery clues, banana pranks, suspicious lemonade trails—and a secret that could change everything.

But being a detective isn't just about solving puzzles. It's about listening, learning, and realizing that sometimes, even the weirdest kids can do the right thing.

Packed with humor, friendship, and a powerful message about teamwork, empathy, and doing the right thing—The Case of the Vanishing Homework kicks off the laugh-out-loud mystery series perfect for fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Last Kids on Earth, and Funny Kid.
