Ignacio in the Dark (The Seventh-Grade Sleuths)

Ignacio Soto’s thrilled when his fellow Seventh Grade Sleuths, Ju and Gunther, join him at the Lenape Environmental Center to explore the night sky at a state-of-the-art astronomical observatory. But the three friends are horrified when the enormous telescope moves eerily, all on its own, endangering dozens of visitors. Has someone sabotaged it? Has it been possessed? Are spies hacking into the observatory's computer? The amateur detectives take on the Case of the Out of Control Telescope, as the center’s popular Festival of Matter draws near. But keeping the clue-hunting under wraps gets sticky when the festival brings some big-shot astrophysicists into town, including one with a close personal connection to Ig. This shocking development will change Ignacio’s life forever, forcing him to question how he perceives the past, and the universe around him.
