The Case of the Time-Capsule Bandit

By: Octavia Spencer

Narrated by: Octavia Spencer

Meet Randi Rhodes, the world’s first ninja detective! Mystery abounds in this “assured, entertaining whodunit” (Publishers Weekly), a 2014 IndieNext pick and the first in a new middle grade series from Academy Award–winning actress Octavia Spencer.

Deer Creek is a small town whose only hope for survival is the success of their Founder’s Day Festival. But the festival’s main attraction, a time capsule that many people believe hold the town’s treasure, has gone missing.

Twelve-year-old Randi Rhodes and her best friend, D.C., are Bruce Lee–inspired ninjas and local detectives determined to solve the case. Even if it means investigating a haunted cabin and facing mean old Angus McCarthy, prime suspect.

They have three days to find the treasure…the future of their whole town is at stake! Will these kids be able to save the day?

Great family listening!

This was great for the whole family! My kids can't wait to listen to the next one!

So Mysterious

Our kids loved this. Twists and turns, some humor to go along with it. We really enjoyed listening to this together.

Fun and Suspenceful--PERFECT for elementary aged kids!

We loves both of the books about Glenn Street! I wish the author would add more to the series!

My 8-year old loved it

My 8-year old thought that the story was slow in the beginning but when things picked up it got really exciting. She says it’s a great read for girl who don’t want to read about damsels in distress.

We listened to the book in the car and I have to say I zoned out occasionally while it kept my daughter engaged. I loved the diversity of the characters and themes of friendship never get old.

Invigorating read

Great story, kept me glued to the pages. After every chapter I wanted to know what happened next.
