Read this excerpt from the poem "The Missing Books": Detective, sidekick, both confused,
Sandra, for the stakeout, used
Clear powder to cover the box,
While Dennis hid, eyes like a hawk's.
When Sandra left, he heard a squeak,
The bang of books. He dared to peek.

The thief, as clever as a fox,
Crept out the door with the full box.
Dennis yelled loudly like a train,
The thief's face showed a sudden strain
He ran. He tripped. Then, he saw
Sandra light up his guilty claws.

Read this excerpt from the story The Mystery of the Missing Library Books:

Eventually, Sandra left, Victor turned off the lights, and the library grew silent. Suddenly, I heard sneakers squeaking across the floor. A figure in a black hoodie lifted books from the new releases section and dropped them into the plastic box. Finally, the figure picked up the box and walked to the door. I stepped out from the shadows of the bookshelves and yelled, "Stop, thief!"

The mysterious figure dropped the box of books and ran through the door but came to an abrupt stop when Sandra stepped out from behind a post. She shone black light on the thief's hands, revealing the marks of the invisible powder.
