“I am, but these guys are champs too,” Chet said. He pointed his thumb at Frank and Joe. “Detective champs!”
It wasn’t long before Frank, Joe, and Chet were watching the knights’ joust from the best seats at the fair. The boys sprang to their feet, cheering as one knight on horseback knocked the other knight’s shield from his armored hand!
As the next knights took their places, Joe leaned over to Frank and said, “There’s something I want to do, Frank,” Joe said. “Something important.”
“Yeah? What?” Frank asked.
Joe smiled as he pointed down to the knights on horseback. “I want to find out if one of those knights,” he said, “is really Aunt Gertrude!”
The boys laughed.
“There is something I need to do too,” Frank said. “As soon as we get home, I want to write something on our tree house board. . . .”
