Sleuther Hazel has always loved a good mystery. However, she never expected any of her cases to become too dangerous, especially when the target of the suspect is children. This is exactly the situation Hazel Woods finds herself in, inside the book It Found Us by Lindsay Currie. She has always had a talent for snooping, which is shown when she “accidentally” listens in on potential plans for a hide-and-seek game in a cemetery at night. When she finds out that her brother Den is involved in it, she decides to secretly follow him to the graveyard. However, her excitement turns to fear when she hears that her brother’s best friend, Everett,  has gone missing during the game. At first, Hazel and her brother thought it was all a prank. A joke. That was before they discovered the creature. Red and white clothes. Stitched up mouth. Pits for eyes. When they found out that they weren’t it’s only witnesses, they sought out some of the victims to interview. However, even with the help of Hazel’s best friend Maggie, they realized there is more to kidnapping than they had thought. Now it’s up to Hazel, her brother, and her best friend Maggie to uncover a hidden secret that was lost forever, until now. Can they find out who took Everett? Will he be lost to the shadows forever?
