Bassma and the Supers

Ten clues. Three school days. One mystery that can only be solved together. When Ms. Taylor brings a mysterious locked box into class, Bassma and her friends cannot wait to discover what is inside. To open it, they must solve ten riddles hidden throughout the school-and each clue will require a different kind of thinking. Bassma forms a team with Emma, Maya, and Ben. They call themselves the Supers because everyone brings a special strength. Emma reads carefully, Maya draws maps and notices visual details, Ben searches for patterns-and provides plenty of funny moments-while Bassma helps the team plan, listen, and connect their ideas. Their search takes them from the hallway clock and library to the music room, gym, cafeteria, science room, garden, and even the lost-and-found. Along the way, readers are invited to solve each riddle before the answer is revealed. But finding the hidden letters is only the beginning. The final clues challenge the Supers to understand what real teamwork means. Part of the Growing with Bassma™ series, this engaging illustrated mystery teaches children how to:

• Work together and divide responsibilities
• Recognize different strengths
• Plan, observe, and organize clues
• Ask helpful questions
• Learn from mistakes
• Lead by listening and encouraging others
• Use logic and critical thinking
