Vanished

An Edgar Award Winner for Juvenile Fiction

Perfect for mystery buffs with "elements of Alex Rider, James Bond, and Sherlock Holmes," (School Library Journal) the Framed! series stars the only kid on the FBI Director's speed dial and several international criminals' most wanted lists!

Middle school is hard. Solving cases for the FBI is even harder. Doing both at the same time--well that's just crazy. But that doesn't stop Florian Bates!

After helping the FBI solve an art theft at the National Gallery and uncovering a DC spy ring, Florian's finding life at Alice Deal Middle School a little boring. But that's all about to change! His FBI handler, Marcus, has a job for him! Is it a bank robbery? Counterfeit ring? International espionage? Actually it's middle school pranks...

Sounds pretty ordinary except that the pranks are happening at a prestigious private school attended by the President's daughter who may--or may not--be involved. So Florian and Margaret are going undercover to see if they can use their TOAST skills to figure out what's going on before the media gets hold of the story.

However, once the crime-solving pair arrive at the school, they discover that there's a lot more than a few pranks going on and the conspiracy of silence reaches all the way to the top. Then a student vanishes in the middle of a concert at the Kennedy Center and things take a sinister turn!

Can Florian and Margaret save the day? Or are they about to get toasted?
