The Young Detective Agency - Teacher's Edition
Something strange is happening in town — and Oliver and Emma are on the case.From a shadow that moves on its own to a radiator that sings in the middle of the night, this cozy, lantern-lit town keeps handing its two young detectives one baffling mystery after another. Luckily, Oliver and Emma don't just follow their instincts — they follow the evidence, ask the right questions, and use real science to crack every case.This isn't a workbook. It's a season of mysteries.Every one of the 23 cases follows the same satisfying ritual: decode a warm-up riddle, study the case board, meet the suspects, form a theory, get proven wrong, and finally discover the real scientific explanation behind the "impossible" event. Ages 10–16, built for ESL classrooms, homeschool, or any kid who likes a good puzzle.What's inside every case: A Mystery Riddle warm-up — five mini-riddles, a hidden code, and a worked example so nobody starts confused A real case file, case board, and a two-detective cast readers get to know across the whole season A "Words You'll Need" pre-teach box before the story, with the tricky words bolded right where they first appear Two Theory checkpoints where readers commit to a suspect — then get to change their minds, exactly like real detectives A "STOP, Detective" verdict gate before the twist, so no one peeks ahead by accident A real science explanation for every "impossible" event — thermal expansion, static electricity, bioluminescence, and 20 more Classroom activities split into "With a group" and "On your own," so it works for a full class or one kid at a kitchen table Plus, for the whole collection: 24 bonus word-search puzzles ("Time to Spare") — one built from each case's own vocabulary A season-long hidden clue (find the spiral in every case) with its own tracking log A Science Index, so a teacher who needs "static electricity" or "convection" can find the right case in one glance Built for how people actually print things: A4 and US Letter versions, so nothing clips on either side of the Atlantic A full-color Screen/Print-Shop edition and a white-background Ink-Saver edition (under 13MB, no solid dark fills) for anyone printing 300+ pages at home Every case starts on an odd page, so double-sided printing never splits a case across a sheet Reproducible pages are clearly marked "Photocopiable" for classroom use.Teacher's Edition — everything in the Student Edition, plus a complete answer key for every riddle, a Case Solutions reference, suggested two-session lesson plans for any case, and six open-ended extension activities (Change the Ending, Class Trial, Design Your Own Case Board, and more).
