  Logan is stunned by the news of what happened in his house with the previous owner. He goes inside to ask his parents why they didn't tell him that an old lady was murdered in the house 3 years ago. His mother and father seemed to nothing about this event and told Arthur that she had just fallen down the steps.
  Later that evening, Athur comes iver with a cake that his grandma told him to give to the family. During this time, he gives some insiteful information about differnt people in the town and explains how the real eastate agent probably only told them that Mrs. Donaldson had fallen so that she could sell the house to them. The next day Arthur comes over to get Logan so he can give him a tour of the town. They both go off on their bikes and begin the short tour of the town. Many of the houses and buildings had a sign in the yard saying SAVE THE MAGIC. They also drive by an old run down theme park called Magic Oaks. Finally they arrive to the library to sign Logan up for a library card. While they are there they decide to read the newspaper article on Mrs. Donalsdson's murder. When they return the paper they meet a lady who was looking for the same exact article. She had been doing a reprt on the cold case files and was looking into Mrs. Donaldson's case. They boys both give her their name and number so she can come to the house to take pictures and talk to Mrs. Jenson.

The neighbor boy Arthur, stayed and told Logan about the house that he was now going to live in. Arthur explains that the lady in the old house was murdered. Arthur's grandmother was the one that found the old ladies body. At the end of the chapter, Arthur's grandma comes out and tells Arthur to come inside for dinner.
