Case #10: The Mystery of the Journal

Dear Detective,

Did your mom or dad keep a journal when they were growing up? Ask your parents or grandparents to show you their journals. Can you find a good story they wrote about? Copy it into your detective notes!

If you don’t have a journal, get a notebook and start one!
