Description

The Colors They Tried to Erase - A Chapter Book Mystery for Teen Girls Ages 12-16 About Friendship, Secrets, and Finding Your Voice
A gripping mystery. A forgotten voice. A friendship that could rewrite the past.

Emily Granger never asked to become a detective.
At 14, she's content hiding behind her sketchbook -- quiet, artistic, invisible. But when she transfers to Fairview Junior High, everything changes. A faded mural on the school's old wall whispers a secret, and Emily can't stop hearing it.

Then she meets Zoey -- bold, confident, and full of fire. Where Emily holds back, Zoey pushes forward. And when the two girls uncover clues about a long-forgotten student named Lillian Hart -- a girl whose story was literally painted over -- they realize this isn't just a mystery. It's a cover-up.

Suddenly, the art room becomes a crime scene, a dusty archive becomes their map, and every hallway holds a clue. The girls dig deeper, unearthing decades-old secrets hidden in yearbooks, school records, and whispered rumors from teachers who'd rather forget. As they race against time, Emily and Zoey must face the truth -- not just about Lillian, but about themselves.

Can two teen girls solve a mystery the whole school tried to bury? Or will their voices be silenced next?Why Readers Love The Colors They Tried to Erase:
