Synopsis
Encyclopedia Brown and Jack Bauer have passed the torch to Chase Manning.
In a last-ditch effort to save Apple Valley Elementary s award-winning music program from looming budget cuts, the PTA plans to auction off a recently-donated, handcrafted cello at the school s annual fundraising dinner. Confidence is high until the cello turns up missing the morning of the event. The school principal charges Chase Manning, a 4th grader who has dreamed of playing in the orchestra his whole life, with finding the cello by 3 o clock. Each hour of the school day involves surprising and suspense-filled plot turns as Chase pursues the elusive cello. This single-day, real-time mystery thriller truly is a Chase against time!

From the Author
Note for Elementary School Teachers and Parents:
Chase Against Time and its sequel Chase for Home are Level Q on the Fountas & Pinnell scale. Both books are ideally suited to be used as read alouds and mentor texts during Reading Workshop units on mystery and "edge-of-seat" fiction because they include numerous examples of end-of-chapter cliffhangers, red herrings, suspects, motives, and other important mystery elements. If you are interested in teaching children how to craft their own mysteries, check out Steve's e-book, The Ultimate Mystery Writing Guide for Kids.
