When a traveling circus rolls into town, the young detectives of Oakwood—Maya, Leo, Alice, and Sam—expect popcorn, acrobats, and maybe a juggling mishap or two… not a full-blown mystery.
After stumbling upon a string of strange disappearances at the circus, the friends decide to investigate. But the deeper they dig, the more tangled the mystery becomes. With a mischievous parrot, suspicious performers, and secrets hiding behind the big top, the kids must rely on teamwork, quick thinking, and a little bit of luck to crack the case.

Author Bio:
Saga Welles writes stories filled with mystery, adventure, and just a touch of the unexpected. She’s always been drawn to hidden places, lost legends, and the quiet thrill of uncovering a long-buried secret. Her favorite stories are the ones that make you wonder: What if this were real?
As a kid, Saga spent hours in her local library, reading everything from ghost stories to history books—and sometimes making up her own endings. That love of storytelling never left. Now, she creates books for curious and brave readers who love puzzles, eerie encounters, and friendships that can stand up to anything.
When she’s not writing, you’ll find her wandering antique shops, exploring forest trails, or drinking way too much tea while scribbling in her notebook. She believes that every place has a story—and that the best ones are still waiting to be told.
