      Who Took the Book? - Franklin W. Dixon

      Trouble Before School

      Frank, your zipper is down."

      Eight-year-old Joe Hardy and his nine-year-old brother, Frank, were walking to school. It was a Monday morning.

      What? Frank said. He stopped walking.

      The zipper on your backpack, Joe said. It’s open.

      Frank pushed a few pieces of paper into his backpack. Then he zipped it all the way closed.

      Thank you, he said. I don’t want to lose my math homework.

      Frank and Joe came to the end of their block. Then they turned the corner.

      They’re right on time, Frank said. He looked up the street. Chet Morton and his younger sister, Iola, were walking toward them.

      Chet was in the same fourth-grade class as Frank. He had been the first friend Frank and Joe had made when they moved to Bayport. Iola was Chet’s seven-year-old sister.

      Hi! Joe called out.

      Chet was carrying four books, some pieces of paper, and a banana. He was trying to peel the banana, hold the books, and walk at the same time.

      Be careful, Frank told Chet.

      But it was too late. Chet’s books slid out of his hands. When they hit the ground, papers scattered in every direction.

      You banana-head! Iola giggled. Then she bent down to help her brother pick up what he had dropped.

      Frank and Joe helped, too. Frank took some books from the ground.

      Where’s your backpack? Frank asked Chet.

      It’s being washed, Iola answered for her brother. Chet forgot to tighten the lid on his lunch last week. It spilled all over the inside of the backpack.

      Pea soup, Chet said. What a mess.

      Well, I couldn’t live without my backpack, Frank said. I carry everything I need for school in here.

      The four friends began to walk toward school.

      Guess what I did on Saturday, Iola said.

      I give up, Frank said. What did you do on Saturday?

      I went to a slumber party at Tanya Wilkins’s house, Iola answered.

      Can you believe it? Chet asked. Tanya had a party with second graders there!

      Tanya was in fourth grade. She was also on the school basketball team with Frank.

      She invited girls from all different classes, Iola said. She looked at Joe. She had some girls from Joe’s class there, she added.

      So? Joe asked. Why should I care?

      Someone there was talking about you, Iola said. She smiled a big smile at Joe.

      Who talked about me? Joe asked.

      My lips are sealed, Iola said. She pretended to close a big zipper
