Mysteries and investigations stories for 11-12 years old children (108)

Age:
A 12-year-old boy, Milo, round face with freckles, messy brown hair, green jacket and jeans, crouches by a white emergency door holding two wooden skewers tied with a red ribbon as a small silver watch glints under the door; an 11-year-old girl, Zara, with a black braid and yellow outfit stands beside him holding a lemonade cup and pointing down; Coach Rivas, about 40, tall, muscular and tan with a whistle, leans in smiling to look through the door's small window; an 11-year-old boy, Noah, thin and nervous with light brown hair, stands slightly back by an activity table with clasped hands and a guilty look; the scene is a bright school gym hallway with beige walls, light tile floor, a red "EMERGENCY EXIT" sign, folding chairs, a bake sale table and a shiny trophy case, as Milo guides a ribbon lasso under the door to retrieve the watch on a shadowed concrete step while a flashlight casts a narrow beam, creating mild tension and a calm adventurous atmosphere.
