I've Got This

by Frederick Key Author

Quentin Margolis seems like your average eighth-grader, but he’s got a knack for knowing exactly what to bring—whether it’s homework, gym clothes, or something as odd as a metal pipe or a flowery umbrella. This quirky ability always saves the day for someone, though it sometimes lands Quentin in a pickle. When his family moves to the small town of Guild River, Quentin’s secret talent helps him win over new friends: brainy Jeffrey, wisecracking Kenny, and athletic Thom, son of the police chief. Together, they dive into a thrilling school project about a decades-old bank heist that left three robbers dead, one jailed, and a fortune missing. As the boys uncover cryptic clues and dodge shadowy figures, Quentin’s peculiar gift keeps them one step ahead, but also raises questions he can’t avoid. Packed with humor and just the right amount of mystery, this adventure celebrates friendship and ingenuity. Perfect for boys who love a fast-paced tale where ordinary kids tackle extraordinary challenges, it’s a story that’ll keep young readers hooked and parents cheering for more!
