What's one of the most used tools in an elementary classroom? Why, pencil sharpeners, of course! What happens when all the electric pencil sharpeners in an entire elementary school wind up missing? Madness!

There are some pretty suspicious adults lurking the hallways at Hembree Elementary, too. This mystery is not as easy to solve as one might think!

Join along as mischievous 5th grade students learn valuable lessons about themselves and the entire school embarks on a baffling search for missing electric pencil sharpeners. Will you discover the culprit before they do?
