The Twelfth Name

Eleven students appear in the old photograph. The roster lists twelve. So who was the missing student-and why was their name erased?

Four months after solving the mystery of Room 13, Mina, Dez, Priya, and Raj are back among the forgotten records of Westbridge Middle School.

This time, a yellowed Invention Club roster from 1977 contains one name that shouldn't be there: J.M.

No full name. No student file. No photograph. Almost no evidence that J.M. ever attended Westbridge at all.

But the deeper the Westbridge Four dig, the stranger the missing student's story becomes. An old science-fair photograph shows someone who was never identified. A printed entry has been deliberately covered. A forgotten invention survives where its inventor's name did not. And somewhere inside fifty years of school history is the reason one student was quietly erased.

The clues are there.

So are the red herrings.

Can you uncover the truth before the Westbridge Four do?

The Twelfth Name is Book 2 of The Westbridge Four, a clue-driven middle-grade mystery series where readers are invited to investigate alongside the detectives.
