February — Geeta Kakade

Bethany Graham is ready for another mystery but will anything fun happen in this difficult month?February isn't easy for children with one parent as they have to fill in for the missing parent on Valentine's Day. The fourteenth is extra torture for Bethany as there's going to be a school dance at the end of the month and Lexi keeps asking her whom she's going with. Bethany knows she isn't ready for dances and definitely doesn't want a boyfriend till she's thirty…or does she? Deep down she knows that thought she doesn't want to go, but it would be nice just to be asked. When Cody insists they follow up on a flyer about a missing pet, Beth agrees and soon they are busy with interviews and clues and trails that seem to lead nowhere. Mom invites a Hungarian boy to join the tutoring group, complicating matters and Mrs. Naidu only seems interested in befriending a couple of senior citizens who play Scrabble. Is there really a mystery to solve?
