Welcome to the wild, wonderful, and slightly weird world of middle school—where every hallway hides a mystery, and every lunch period could change your life. The Halls of Mystery and Mayhem is a heartwarming, laugh-out-loud collection of twelve short stories about friendship, secrets, courage, and the chaos of growing up.

Follow a group of students trying to solve the case of the missing school bell, and others on the hunt for a popcorn-smuggling classmate. Cheer for a cooking team of total opposites and a secret society that does homework for good. From the anonymous kindness of the Whisper Tree to a viral prank that teaches a big lesson, each story takes a unique look at the ups and downs of life in school—whether you're in the classroom, the cafeteria, or sneaking through a secret hallway.

Perfect for fans of relatable, character-driven stories, this collection proves that you don't have to be the loudest or the boldest to be a hero—you just have to show up, care, and maybe bring a snack.
