After scouring the crime scene, they gather their friends from the splash pad and head to the quilt show to interview suspects.

Key Selling Points
• On the day of the quilt show, Halmoni's friend June has her newly finished quilt stolen-but eight-year-old twins Lark and Connor are determined to help her find the culprit and return the quilt before the show is over.
• Books that include incidental neurodiversity and racial diversity (their family is Korean and Kenyan) continue to be in high demand, and the fact that Lark is not only dyslexic but that each book contains new vocab words she's learning is a real draw for teachers and young readers.
• As it's centred on a local quilt show, the book showcases how diverse the quilt-making community can be (including people of different ages and genders), and will spark an appreciation for quilts in kid readers.
• Central character Miss June uses a wheelchair and has a service dog, Daisy, which are incidental to the plot; Lark mentions a helpful tip about not petting service dogs while they're wearing their service dog harnesses.
• Using a dyslexia-friendly font, the book introduces readers to idioms and advanced vocabulary via Lark's point of view and includes a section at the end that explains the words and figures of speech used.
• Fast-paced plots, child-friendly intrigue, accessible language and short chapters featuring black-and-white illustrations make this series perfect for emergent readers.
In this early chapter book, Lark and Connor help their halmoni's friend Miss June try to find out who stole her quilt and get it back in time to display it at the local quilt show.
