King’s favorite ball is missing. He and Kayla must figure out where it went—and

who has it.

 

What does Kayla know?

1. King’s ball went over the fence.

2. Jillian brought back a ball, but it wasn’t King’s ball.

3. None of the other balls next door are King’s.

 

What does King know?

There is a cat under the porch next door.

The cat said a mouse took the ball.

 

How will they solve the mystery?
