    About this ebook

    “Wow! Could you imagine living in a house like this?” Kendall asked.
    “Could you imagine having to clean a house like this?” Jamie answered.
    Both Kendall and Jamie had inherited their love of old things from their parents. At that moment they were visiting a huge mansion that allowed tours. They had come with their friends Erica and Andrea and their father.
    Mr. Broderick was talking with one of the restorers in another part of the house. All four of the kids were in the front room of the house, looking around.
    The room had several pieces of furniture clustered around a huge, ornate fireplace. A woman was standing in front of the fireplace, sketching in a small pad of paper. The walls around the room were hung with a number of old pictures, most of the portraits.
    Jamie was about to say something when they were suddenly interrupted by the sound of a huge crash. It came from the room they were right next to. They each looked at each other for a second, and then quickly rushed into the room to see what had happened.
    They discover a statue that has been smashed, but who did it?

    See if you can solve this 15-minute mystery before the Brodericks do.
    Educational Versions Include exercises designed to meet Common Core Standards.
    For ages 8 and up.

      INTRODUCTION: Meet Kendall and Jamie

      If you haven’t met Kendall and Jamie Broderick yet, let me introduce them to you.

      Jamie Broderick is younger than her brother Kendall is. She is also more impetuous. That means that she often acts first and thinks about what will happen later. Jamie doesn’t worry too much about getting into trouble. She knows Kendall will be there to protect her and help her out.

      Kendall likes to think things through before he acts. He is often one of the smartest kids in his class. That might be because he loves reading and learning new things. He is also active in sports and likes to play American football.

      Kendall and Jamie’s father is a history
