Notorious prankster, Adam Packer, gets in trouble when a paper bag explodes, covering teachers and the school principal in shaving cream. Determined to prove he was framed, Adam hires student private eye, Jay Walker to help clear his name.

Jay Walker is an average and simple fourth grade student. He likes to brown-bag his lunch, prefers his PB & J sandwich cut diagonally, with the crusts cut off. All of that changes when Benny, a kid Jay's known since preschool, comes to him for help. Daisy Flyer's been kidnapped. A ransom note's been left behind. Since Jay's dad is a police officer, Benny is certain Jay can solve the crime. But who is Daisy Flyer? She's a two-foot tall action figure from a once-popular science fiction movie. If the demands of the ransom note aren't met, the whole school is going to learn that Benny plays with dolls. What does the kid, er-uh, doll-napper want in return?
