Suggested Reading Assignment

This is Part Three of Where's Sneaky Dan?

First you will read what happened so far in the mini-mystery.

In the last part of Where's Sneaky Dan? Sneaky Dan had stolen a small box that Simon the Inventor had created. This box made Sneaky Dan disappear. After Sneaky Dan had taken the box and climbed out the window, he was surprised by his visitor. Detective Mallory was waiting for Sneaky Dan. Sneaky Dan didn't know how Detective Mallory knew he was going to be there. Simon the Inventor created a devise that let the police department know when someone was breaking into his place. Sneaky Dan was taken to the police station and placed in a holding cell. Detective Mallory didn't realize that Sneaky Dan had the small box hidden in his jacket. When Detective Mallory returned, he couldn't see Sneaky Dan. Nobody in the police department knew what happened to Sneaky Dan.

Detective Mallory notified Simon the Inventor about Sneaky Dan's disappearance. The police found out that the small box had a button on it. When someone pushed that button, that person would become invisible. The police also found out that if someone pushed another button, that person would go back to the past or to the future. As a result, the police had another problem. Where was Sneaky Dan? Did he go back to the past or did he go to the future? How far back or how far into the future did he go?

Where's Sneaky Dan? - Part Three

When Simon the Inventor searched the holding cell, he found the small box that Sneaky Dan accidentally left behind. Simon the Inventor found that the button for the past had been pushed. Detective Mallory watched Simon the Inventor push the button for the future. Right before their eyes appeared Sneaky Dan. "Well, hello again, Sneaky Dan," Detective Mallory said.

"What happened?" Sneaky Dan asked, with a surprised look on his face.

"Simon the Inventor pushed the button to the future on the small box that you left behind. He was able to bring you back to the present time since he realized you had gone back in time," Detective Mallory replied.

"Thanks a lot, Simon. I thought I could trust you."

"Sorry. That will teach you to steal my inventions. I don't plan on using my inventions for crime."

Detective Mallory arrested Sneaky Dan again. Sneaky Dan couldn't escape again since he didn't have the box. Mini-Mysteries
