I like mysteries because the stories cause me to turn the pages faster on a book I would otherwise close and return to the library.

Activity #2

In the story of the Charred Bench @ the Library, the teen who has gone missing after the library fire apparently had an outside link to how to stop this fire quicker. The teen is missing, yes, and everyone
wants to know where she is and if she is safe. As information gathers regarding the identity of the missing
teen, friends begin to talk and make statements to the Police and firefighters regarding their relationship
with this girl. Tension mounts. The missing teens’ parents are distraught with anguish as the long and
endearing search of the library and the surrounding area are searched. Will the rescue team, the volunteer community group and the local authorities find this missing girl? It’s time to look at the facts.
Volunteers are required to know the missing teens’ habits, friends and especially the clothes she is known
to have been wearing at the time of the incident regarding the library fire. Planning, searching, examining clues and overall community resource evaluations are utilized to discover the location of the missing teen.

I think that a teenager started a fire at the library. Then, she ran off and no one’s seen her since the fire. That’s what I think happened.
