Ellie Explains Everything: The Principal's Secret Day Off

By Chris Seyffert

Mr. Garcia says he is taking the day off.

So why does Ellie keep seeing him everywhere?

First, a man who looks exactly like the principal sneaks through the school carrying mysterious boxes. Then a suspicious Warrior mascot begins roaming the halls. Soon, Ellie discovers that the assistant principals and office staff are all hiding something.

Remi thinks there is a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Ellie knows better.

Armed with her notebook, several questionable theories, and absolutely no permission to investigate, Ellie sets out to uncover what Mr. Garcia is really doing. But when an important piece of Warren Middle School history disappears, Ellie realizes there may be more than one mystery to solve, and the school's biggest surprise could be ruined if she cannot explain everything in time.

Packed with illustrations, ridiculous theories, and laugh-out-loud school adventures, The Principal's Secret Day Off is the second standalone mystery in the Ellie Explains Everything series.
