Philip And The Thief (9781619500648) - Plot & Excerpts
Six times, Mr. Ware called on him. Twice for answers to math and he got them both wrong; once for reading part of the story they were doing and he read from the wrong page; and the other three times he didn’t even know the question Mr. Ware asked him and simply said, “Huh?” Tyler paid close attention to everything, though. Philip guessed Tyler didn’t want his mother visiting again. Philip knew why Jason couldn’t pay attention in class—getting caught for stealing the teacher’s forty dollars filled up his brain. Getting punished filled up his brain. But the only thing Mr. Ware did on Tuesday was tell the class how disappointed he felt when no one put the money back on his desk. Everyone in the class went home in a bad mood. That night as Philip lay in bed, his mother stopped into his room and said, “I have a mystery for the best detective on the block to solve. You helped Mrs. Moriarty. She told me how you found her stamps. Now maybe you can help me.” “What’s the mystery, Mom?”
