The Mystery of the Disappearing Drone

September 17, 2025 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

The AKA Detective Club is back with another mystery to solve! A couple of months ago, we read The Mystery of the Missing Geometry Boxes at my book club for ages 9 and 10, and most of my book clubbers enjoyed it. A series of mysteries is always fun, so we’re sure to read The Mystery of the Disappearing Drone soon too!

Book Cover
An AKA Detective Club Mystery
The Mystery of the Disappearing Drone
Vidya V.
Three children looking up and pointing. One has a drone remote in his hands.

Aarav, Karthik and Asha have a new mystery to solve—the mystery of a stolen Rolex watch. Things spiral out of control, however, when the watch is stolen not once, but twice. Worse, when it is stolen for the second time, Karthik becomes the prime suspect because the evidence seems to indicate that the watch was stolen by a drone, and the only one with a drone with claws is Karthik! Suspicion within a club is never a good sign, and the three detectives have to find a way to solve the mystery and clear their names.

The complexity of the story is perfect for early middle-grade readers, and the strained friendship adds a dimension to the story that makes the reader all the more invested in the mystery. Additionally, without giving anything away, I will say that the way the book ends is sure to make readers eager to read the next book in the series!
