The Last Bus Home (Paperback)

Rachel Hayes boarded the Number Six bus at 9:42 p.m.

She never made it home.

Security footage shows the nineteen-year-old sitting in Seat Seventeen as the bus crossed Crescent Valley. Then the rear camera goes dark for seven minutes. When the picture returns, Rachel's seat is empty.

No one remembers seeing her leave.

When Detective Thompson asks the Young Investigators to help review the evidence, Jake, Emily, Amy, Max, Mia, and Chip discover Rachel had been frightened before she disappeared. Someone had been following her, and the canvas tote she guarded so carefully may contain the reason why.

A grocery receipt, a mysterious passenger, a disabled camera, and a driver who is not telling the whole story lead the team far beyond a missing-person case.

Rachel had discovered something she was never supposed to find.

Now the Young Investigators must follow the trail she left behind and discover what really happened on the last bus home.
