    In this thrilling mystery about two eighth-grade reporters, a blackmail case is solved. Steven Thomas and Susan
    Carol Anderson win a journalism contest and are sent to the Final Four basketball games. They are required to write
    an article every day that they are at the tournament and are provided press passes and full access to all the inside
    information.

    The first day that Steven and Susan are at the games they overhear someone make a blackmail threat to a Minnesota
    State University player. At first they don't think much of it until a player goes MISSING! You follow the story of the
    pair putting the puzzle pieces together and solving the mystery of the missing basketball player.

    I loved the fast pace of the book, the thrilling moments, and the hostage situation. This is the first book in a four
    book series. And even though this book is about sports, and I'm a girly-girl, this book is awesome! Anyone can
    enjoy this book!
