Common themes include secrets. Middle school is full of secrets, and these stories often revolve around uncovering them. For instance, secrets about teachers, other students, or the school itself. Another theme is the struggle between good and evil. There's usually a 'bad guy' or some sort of obstacle that the students have to overcome. In 'The Case of the Broken Statue', the students have to find out who or what caused the statue to break, which represents the 'evil' they need to fight against.
One common theme is friendship. In these stories, friends often work together to solve the mystery. For example, in many cases, they'll combine their different skills and knowledge to figure things out. Another theme is discovery. Middle - schoolers are often in a phase of exploring the world around them, and these mysteries let them discover new things about their school or classmates.
A frequent theme is the sense of adventure. Middle school students are eager for adventure, and mystery stories in this genre provide that. They get to go on a journey of finding out secrets. Also, the theme of growing up can be seen. As they solve the mysteries, they learn more about themselves and become more confident and responsible, like in the story 'The Mystery of the Lost Library Book' where the main character grows from being shy to being brave enough to solve the mystery.
