Whodunnit Story Series for Kids
Project Overview
This is an audio story series about a precocious Jewish ten year old boy who has a knack for solving mysteries. The stories are tailored to Jewish Orthodox children from 8 - 12ish. The stories will appear on an online platofrm for Jewish Orthodox families.
There are Jewish words interspersed within the story, so a familiarity with these type of words are a plus but not a requirement. I will send the proper pronunciation of the Jewish words to whatever actor needs it.

Eli is a precocious 12 year old, who has a talent for solving mysteries with his sharp logic and quick wit.
Just do the lines with the quotation marks: “Don't you get it?” he said. “She's not the thief. None of those four are the thief!” Eight pairs of eyes trained themselves on Eli as he explained. “None of us could have dug up the bush in the time since we saw it last,” he explained. “You’re looking at people who disappeared for what, ten or fifteen minutes? To dig up a full-size bush without damaging it? It would take hours!” He shook his head in disbelief as he continued. “Whoever stole the bush dug it up before we came! Then he just left it in the hole, with a little dirt on top to hide his work. With the bush already dug up, it must have taken him less than a minute to actually steal it later on. And any of us could have left for a minute or two! No one would even notice we were gone!”
Just do the lines in quotation marks: “What if someone accidentally stepped on them, and then he was afraid he'd get in trouble for breaking these expensive glasses? What if he swept up the mess, and threw it out.” Jerry looked at the floor. “He wouldn't want someone to look in the garbage can and see the glasses, though,” Eli pointed out. “So he'd probably tie the garbage bag and take it out himself. Right, Jerry?”
She is the younger sister of the man character, Eli, and she has an innate sense of people. She is about 11 years old but not scared to challenge her precocious mystery solving brother. She may even be brighter than her brother, Eli.
Just do the lines with the quotation marks and only the ones for Elisheva: “Hey!” Elisheva cut in. “Isn’t anyone going to ask me how I solved the case? I figured it out first, you know!” Eli gave her a curious look. “That’s a good point. You did seem to know what was going on. How’d you do it?” “It was easy,” Elisheva said with a shrug. “I could tell Yehuda was telling the truth. And I could tell Jerry was hiding something when he talked about cutting his finger taking out the trash. Wasn’t hard to work out the rest.” Eli stared. “But- how did you know he was hiding something? What was your clue?” “I just knew,” Elisheva told him. “I always know when people are hiding things.” She looked at the both of them and shrugged again. “Doesn’t everyone?”
This is various miscellaneous characters that are boys between the ages 6-13
Just do the lines in quotation marks for Yehuda, who is 9 years old: “Why would I even want your dumb glasses?” Yehuda muttered angrily. “I can see just fine!” Mr. McCreery rolled his eyes. “You know very well that my glasses are rimmed with solid gold, and worth quite a lot of money. Now I know you're only nine years old, and I don't want to get you into trouble. Just give me back my glasses and it'll all be fine.” “I didn't take them!” Yehuda yelled. “I promise!” He turned to Eli with pleading eyes. “You've got to believe me, Eli! You know I wouldn't steal or nothin'!”
Just do the lines in quotation marks for Moshe:, who is 12 years old: “My bicycle was stolen!” Moshe shouted. “I just realized – I rode it to school. But when Uncle Shimon picked me up, it was gone! At first I thought I'd walked to school. But now I remember that I rode. And the bike wasn't there when I left school!”
This is various miscellaneous characters that are girls between the ages 6-13
Just do the lines in quotation marks from both Tammy and Sheera: “That’s so cool!” Tammy suddenly she jerked upright, her book spilling onto the grass. “What?” “Listen to this,” Tammy said. “‘A group of people are standing in a room wearing either white or black shirts. They start throwing basketballs around. You job is to keep track of how many times the white shirts pass the ball.” “So?” “So get this.” Tammy leaned forward. “You’re so focused on keeping track that you haven’t noticed that one of the people wearing a black shirt is actually dressed in a gorilla suit!” “What do you mean, I didn’t notice him?” Sheera asked, incredulous. “I didn’t even see this thing!” “No, I mean the people who watch it pretty much never see. Guy comes out dressed like a gorilla, and they don’t even realize until they’re told about it afterward. Then they look again, and it’s clear as day.” “That doesn’t make any sense,” Sheera protested. “I would notice.” “You wouldn’t. People see what they expect to see,” Tammy told her. “They don’t care about anything else.” “I would notice,” Sheera insisted. “I’m not dumb.” “It’s not about being smart,” Tammy responded. “It’s the way your brain works. Whether you like it or not…”
