<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Second-grader Sam starts a detective club at school and, because there are no mysteries to solve, gets permission to seek the owners of three items from the lost and found closet.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Sam Graham is a mystery man. But when there are no mysteries to solve, Sam comes up with a plan to find one in this hilarious fourth chapter book in the Sam the Man series from Frances O'Roark Dowell.</b> <p/>Sam Graham loves solving mysteries. After successfully solving the mystery of Annabelle's lost sock, Sam decides to make mystery-solving his main hobby (after tending the chickens, of course). He recruits his best friend Gavin and a couple of their classmates for a detective club, and together they're ready for any mystery that comes their way. There's a problem though...there are no cases to solve! <p/>So, Sam comes up with a plan: They'll take the most interesting things in the lost and found and try to find out who lost what. But who could a locked box, a very long stuffed snake, and a red jacket belong to? And how will Sam and his friends find them? And...why does that jacket smell so bad?!?<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Frances O'Roark Dowell is the bestselling and critically acclaimed author of <i>Dovey Coe</i>, which won the Edgar Award and the William Allen White Award; <i>Where I'd Like to Be</i>; <i>The Secret Language of Girls</i> and its sequels <i>The Kind of Friends We Used to Be</i> and <i>The Sound of Your Voice, Only Really Far Away</i>; <i>Chicken Boy</i>; <i>Shooting the Moon</i>, which was awarded the Christopher Award; the Phineas L.
