Magic Marker Mystery Quiz

📖 Part 1: Read the Mystery

On Friday morning, Mia discovered that the class’s special purple marker was missing. The marker had been in a cup beside the whiteboard when everyone left the room the day before. Mia noticed three clues: a purple smudge on the art table, a trail of tiny paper stars, and an open supply closet.

She followed the stars to the reading corner. Under a pile of books, Mia found the marker. Her classmate Leo explained that he had borrowed it to draw stars for the class play. He had planned to return it but became distracted when the bell rang. Mia was glad the mystery was solved, and Leo apologized for not asking first.
