A light mystery for newly fluent readers. Abby and her fellow library volunteers (the "Book Bunch") discover that books are missing from the library even though they show as checked in in the online catalog. Who could be taking the books? The strange man with the briefcase who abruptly left the library? A parallel storyline involves what's really eating Jeremy as the class readies for a Thanksgiving celebration with the 3rd graders.
