Living in the luxurious Arcanum building - with its interior balconies perfect for playing tag, an elevator like an iron birdcage, and quirky neighbours behind every apartment door - has always been a fun and games for twelve-year-old Minerva Keen. Until her neighbours start getting poisoned. Anyone could be next, and everyone is a suspect, including Minerva herself.

To clear her name and help the police crack the case, Minerva starts her detective club. So what if it only has two other members, one Minerva's accident-prone daredevil brother, and the other the biggest and quietest kid in school, who happens to be afraid of his own shadow? Minerva knows that with her brainpower, the club's sleuthing skills, and case files full of suspects, they can unmask the poisoner. . . . Hopefully before it's too late.

The Arcanum building was a luxurious paradise, with its interior balconies perfect for playing tag, an elevator like an iron birdcage, and quirky neighbours behind every apartment door. It had always been a dream come true for twelve-year-old Minerva Keen, who had always dreamed of living in such a place. But things took a dark turn when her neighbours started getting poisoned. At first, it was just a few isolated cases, but soon it became clear that someone was targeting the building's residents. The police were baffled, and no one seemed to have a clue as to who was behind the attacks.

Minerva was determined to find out the truth, and she knew that she had to act fast. She started her detective club, inviting her brother, who was always getting into trouble, and her best friend, who was the biggest and quietest kid in school. Despite their differences, the three of them were a formidable team, and they were determined to unmask the poisoner before it was too late.

As they dug deeper into the case, they discovered that there were many suspects, each with their own motives and secrets. Minerva's brother was a reckless daredevil who loved to push the limits, while her best friend was a shy introvert who was afraid of his own shadow. But as they worked together, they began to piece together the clues and develop a theory about who was behind the attacks.

Finally, after weeks of tireless investigation, they were able to identify the poisoner as a former tenant of the building who had gone crazy after being evicted. The three of them worked together to apprehend the culprit, and in the end, they were able to save the building's residents from further harm.

Minerva felt a sense of pride and accomplishment as she looked out over the city from the top of the Arcanum building. She had helped to solve a mystery and bring justice to those who had been targeted. And she knew that her detective club had become a symbol of hope and courage in a time of fear and uncertainty.
