At first her case seems easy to crack—someone has been tampering with Whitney’s locker, and since her best friend Alyssa has the combination, she is a likely suspect. But nothing is as simple as it seems, especially once the team learns that other strange things are happening around Whitney. Mysterious charges from a popular Internet drawing game have shown up on Whitney’s parents’ credit card. Whitney swears she didn’t authorize the charges, so who did?

So I thought we’d start a unit on behavioral science, which, for our purposes, can be defined as the study of human behavior through observation.” Miss Hodges paused so everyone could write down the definition. “Behavioral science is extremel...
