Purchase options and add-ons

Skyler is a bright and imaginative third grader at Mount Brighton Elementary, a dual-language school where the kids learn in English and Spanish. Ever since she turned nine, however, things have started to feel more frightening. And nothing is scarier than the mean old man in the dark house on the corner. Anxiety, her mom calls it.

When Skyler, Juan, and Izzy decide to play a thrilling detective game, they never expect to discover a real-life mystery. As the kids embark on their quest to solve both cases, Skyler finds herself confronting her greatest challenge yet: her own fear.

Set in a richly diverse, multilingual community, this quirky and whimsical novel will immerse young readers in a world where bilingualism takes center stage and culture dances with belonging. As Skyler and her friends hunt for clues and follow leads, they also discover the true meaning of community.

From the Publisher

the author

Lisa C. Mitchell

Children’s author Lisa Mitchell has enjoyed storytelling for as long as she can remember and would spend hours alone as a child inventing elaborate worlds or writing plays. Inspired by her daughter, her friends, and their dual language school and neighborhood, she’s renewed that passion with her new middle-grade fiction book, The Case of the Missing Cheese: a Grove Street Mystery. This thrilling detective story set in a richly diverse, multilingual community, explores the power of language, friendship, and belonging.

Although The Grove Street Mysteries series marks her children’s fiction debut, Lisa has written on a range of topics. Her work has been published by Palgrave, Teaching Theater, The American Journal of Community Psychology, and others.

Lisa loves her job in the entertainment industry through which she works to bring the arts to children everywhere. She is also a researcher who enjoys traveling with her family, photography, and teaching in higher education.

    The Case of the Missing Cheese: a Grove Street Mystery is engaging, entertaining, and fun to read with my 6 and 8 year old sons. What a wonderful story for Hispanic Heritage Month and year round - the beauty of a multicultural and a multi-lingual story! The illustrations are also really impressive. Highly recommend as a gift, and your personal library collection! Well done, Lisa - an author to watch!

    A fun mystery, in which three friends, from different cultural back grounds, show that working together gets things done and things are not always what they seem. Definitely a feel good story, with realistic behavior from the kids and parents, who talk and behave like real people.

    I received an Advanced Reader copy through Book Sirens. This is a cute story for 3rd - 5 th graders. The main characters are in 3rd grade. It contains Italian, Spanish and English words. Not all of the Spanish was translated. I took three years of Spanish and was unfamiliar with some of the vocabulary. There are two mysteries occurring: one is a missing hamster and the other is Mystery Mayhem. The beacon and clues for Mystery Mayhem’s game are fun and appealing. The friendship with Mr. Rossi is a true strength to the story. I would recommend this to others.

    My 8 year old daughter and I read this book together. She didn't want to put it down! A super-fun adventure where kids in a multicultural village, who attend a dual language school, try to be the first to solve a mystery, and wind up mixed up in a different mystery all together. Recommended!

    Skyler and her friends are 3rd graders who love a good mystery and making plans without asking their parents first. They live in a multicultural town with a wonderfully diverse cast of characters that is both easily recognizable and whole unique.
    When mysteries start to pile up, the Grove Street Detective Agency is on the case!

    Within the framework of a solid mid-grade mystery story Lisa weaves a tapestry of diversity and friendship where the real answers always lie in communication, understanding, and kindness.

    I was fortunate enough to receive an advanced copy of this delightful book. There are so many things to like - the character development, the pacing and the writing style (throwing in some big words to build vocabulary is always a plus), to name a few. I love the fact that the setting is a dual language school and that multiple languages were incorporated into the book. Five stars!
