Midtown Mysteries: Inspiring Stories for Unique Kids

By Bret Overton

Welcome to Midtown Mysteries-where every puzzle has a purpose, every adventure has heart, and the best detectives think a little differently. Meet Dylan Taylor, a 12-year-old boy with a brilliant mind, a kind soul, and a unique way of seeing the world. Dylan is neurodiverse, and while that means his brain works a bit differently, it's exactly what makes him an extraordinary sleuth. With his loyal golden retriever Max by his side, Dylan explores the curious corners of Midtown-a town bursting with secrets and surprises. In this exciting collection, young readers will discover: - Mystery-filled adventures-from hidden treasures to playground codes and eerie midnight noises. - A neurodiverse hero who uses memory, logic, and pattern recognition to solve problems others overlook. - A heartwarming friendship between Dylan and Max, his brave and ever-faithful golden retriever. - A charming small-town setting full of quirky characters, hidden clues, and plenty of surprises. - Empowering themes that celebrate curiosity, resilience, and the value of thinking differently. - Relatable moments for kids who experience the world in unique ways-whether through sensory challenges, social puzzles, or unexpected change. Each mystery is packed with excitement, emotion, and a reminder that being different is a strength. Dylan's adventures show that you don't need to fit in to stand out-you just need to be yourself. Perfect for fans of detective stories, neurodivergent heroes, and tales with heart and brains. Ready to solve the next big mystery? Grab your flashlight, put on your detective hat, and step into the world of Midtown Mysteries. Ideal for readers aged 8-12 who love adventure, clever clues, and unforgettable characters.
