The Raven with No Shadow
At exactly 12:03, the clocks stop.
Then the raven taps on the window.
Miles Calder has already solved one impossible case since discovering the secret door behind his bedroom closet. He has dealt with goblins, magical contracts, a biting rosebush, and the Department of Unusual Disturbances. He is almost starting to think he understands how Grimhollow works.
Then a black feather falls from The Impossible Casebook.
It has no shadow.
When a wounded raven named Quill appears at Miles's school, every shadow in the room bends toward the glass. Quill has lost more than a shadow. He has lost his proof, his memory, his route, and possibly his name. The Raven Court wants answers before midnight, and Rook, Miles's sharp-tongued raven companion, knows more than he is willing to admit.
Now Miles must investigate a stolen shadow, a dangerous old witness case, a suspicious shadow market, and the secrets his grandfather left behind. But someone is planting false evidence, someone wants Rook blamed, and something beneath Briar Glen is waking one lock at a time.
If Miles cannot solve the case before midnight, Quill may disappear from the Court forever.
And Rook may not be the only one with a past hiding in the dark.
The Raven with No Shadow is Book Two of The Closet Case Files, a spooky-funny middle-grade fantasy mystery series for readers ages 9-12 who love clever clues, secret doors, magical creatures, hidden worlds, suspicious ravens, and kid detectives who notice what adults miss.
