Sloane and Amelia's investigation at an amusement park quickly turns ominous when they come up against a cohort of villains determined to stop them in this third book in the Tangled Mysteries middle grade series perfect for fans of The Book Scavenger and Lemons.
Sloane and Amelia's amateur detective agency has landed their first paid gig! After seeing their YouTube documentary series, eccentric millionaire Covington Cooley hires them to solve a mystery: the secret location of a time capsule buried in 1865 somewhere on the grounds of Cedar Point Amusement Park. Cooley is sure that the box holds documents proving that his ancestor is the rightful owner of the land, a fact which, if proven, would turn him from a millionaire to a billionaire overnight.
But there are plenty of parties who are interested in stopping Sloane and Amelia from finding the capsule, like the park manager who wants to protect Cedar Point, Sloane and Amelia's schoolmate bent on destroying their reputation, and the ghostly specter that's been caught on camera tampering with documents and equipment related to the time capsule search!
Sloane and Amelia are determined to find out what's going on no matter what, even if it means fighting off the possessed, undead clowns Amelia is certain roam all carnival parks.

Our renowned middle school detectives, in need of new social media content, get hired for actual money. Rising eighth graders Amelia and Sloane, fresh from solving the case of Ma Yaklin's Missing Millions, are pleased with the success of their detective agency, Osburn and Miller-Poe Investigations, and its corresponding YouTube channel. Now Mr. Collymore, "some rich guy from Sandusky," wants to hire them. He claims his ancestor was swindled out of the land that Cedar Point Amusement Park is built on, and he wants to hire the girls to find the proof. An all-expenses-paid trip to an amusement park to solve a historical mystery? This will make great content for their YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram! Once on site, the girls are quickly entangled in some Scooby-Doo-esque drama involving a team of archaeologists, amusement park management, and a children's book-writing, history-reenacting, racist history professor. Amelia has told Mr. Collymore that BuzzFeed and Apple TV are interested in their YouTube channel, and now mean girl Mackenzie (who is besties with Mr. Collymore's daughter, uh-oh) has been posting rude TikToks about Amelia's and Sloane's dreams. If they don't solve Mr. Collymore's mystery, they'll be humiliated, but the park management has foiled them at every turn. Through sheer, ridiculous persistence, with a heartwarming assist from an unexpected quarter, the girls prevail once again. Main characters are white. Sleuths skillfully, satisfyingly solve silly roller-coaster shenanigans. (historical note) (Mystery. 9-12)COPYRIGHT(2023) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
