An ideal way to teach information literacy and leadership skills to
1st to 4th graders—using chocolate chip cookies and glitter pens!
The Cayuga Island Kids are five big-hearted friends who solve
mysteries and have wonderful adventures together. They are fact
detectives who follow clues, find answers, and puzzle out
solutions. Above all, they are kind, helpful, smart, and
resourceful kids who have lots of fun together. In Book 1 the Kids
hunt for a certain kind of tree and instead unearth a cannonball.
As they hunt for clues and follow leads, the inquisitive and
adventurous fact detectives discover that the island they live on
is home to both history and mystery. In award-winning Book 2, the
Kids rescue a mallard and pull plastic bottles out of the creek.
How they bring the community together to build a recycling bin big
enough to hold plenty of plastic makes for a lively adventure.
Brainstorming, teamwork, and recycling lead to the realization that
although we are each just one person, together we can make a BIG
difference! In Book 3, Julian and his dad are trying to make
perfect chocolate chip cookies when glitter pens go missing at
school. Clues point to a suspect, but when they encounter
misinformation and disinformation, the importance of not jumping to
conclusions becomes clear.

library that Gram built—and searching for the next mystery to
solve.When two of Ms. Choi’s glitter pens go missing, Maya turns
to Lacey for help. The clues and evidence point to a suspect, but
are they jumping to conclusions? When a classmate jumps to
conclusions and shares false information about Julian’s cookies,
the Cayuga Island Kids join forces to set the facts straight. When
the kids research explorers for a school project, they uncover
misinformation that blurs the truth, and makes the reasons for
being a fact detective crystal clear.As the fall leaves turn color,
the Cayuga Island Kids come to realize that sorting through clues
and evidence—just like research—means making sure information
is factual, and not just a fraction of the truth. Young readers
will cheer for the Cayuga Island Kids as they embark on this latest
adventure involving faulty assumptions, missing facts, flour bugs,
and chocolate chip cookies.
