Overview

Evan Calder knows shortcuts are meant to save time. At least, that is what everyone says. So when a new path appears in his town, he tries it without much thought. At first, it seems simple enough. Then things start to feel off. People who hurry through the path arrive late. Others get turned around or feel oddly mixed up. The faster they rush, the worse it goes. Evan starts to notice these small details, especially after watching it happen again and again after school. With help from his friends, he begins to test the path. They walk it slowly. They pay attention. They compare what happens. Before long, a pattern becomes clear. The shortcut does not care how fast you move. It cares why you do. As Evan watches how the path reacts, he learns that pushing harder does not fix everything. Sometimes slowing down and thinking first matters more. But when pressure builds and habits kick in, he has to choose whether to change or repeat the same mistake. The Shortcut That Failed is a middle grade adventure about curiosity, patience, and paying attention to the choices we make. What happens when the fastest way is not the best one?
