Melissa is a nobody. Wilf is a slacker. Bondi is a show-off. At least that's what their middle school teachers think. To everyone's surprise, they are the three students chosen to compete for a ten thousand-dollar scholarship, solving clues that lead them to various locations around Chicago.

Admittedly a bit cliche, but I still had a great time reading. This book falls into my oddly specific favorite category: children competing and solving puzzles to unravel a mystery, usually created by an eccentric old person, and win a fantastic prize. Those are always wild reads, and this was no exception.
