Have You Seen Mr. Carmel?

By Cynthia A Robinson

Have You Seen Mr. Carmel? is a suspenseful yet heartwarming adventure set in Ringville Elementary School.

When the friendly janitor, Mr. Carmel, mysteriously disappears, his broom left behind, best friends Mia and Ben can't shake the feeling that something strange is happening. Their search begins with odd noises from the janitor's closet, a grumpy lunch lady acting suspicious, and a messy room that doesn't look like Mr. Carmel's work at all.

With the help of their kind teacher, Miss Jacky, the children follow clues-a strange symbol, an old map, and even a secret passage hidden in the school walls. Their journey takes them through dark hallways, dusty rooms, and finally to the abandoned school theater, where they uncover a treasure chest with a couple of glowing marbles.

Finally, a note explains everything: Mr. Carmel had found the marbles and was carefully preparing them as a gift for the students. The mystery ends not with danger, but with joy, reminding Mia, Ben, and their classmates that sometimes the greatest treasures are meant to be shared.
