About the book

Twelve-year-old Florian Bates has a sharp eye for details, a method of his own for noticing what others miss, and a secret job as a consultant for the FBI. In this second Framed! mystery, his handler, Marcus, sends Florian and his best friend, Margaret, undercover at a private school in Washington, D.C., where a series of pranks has been targeting students. The case is delicate because the President's daughter may be connected, and the story cannot leak to the press. Florian and Margaret have to blend in, sort out who is behind the trouble and keep their cover intact. When a student goes missing during a class trip to the Kennedy Center, the stakes rise quickly. This clever, fast-moving mystery suits readers about 8 to 12, especially fans of puzzles and detective stories.
