Nina and the Mystery of the Missing Necklace

A necklace has vanished in the quiet town of Whiskerville. Only one detective can crack the case, and she happens to have whiskers.

Mrs. Hargrove's treasured silver necklace, set with a bright blue sapphire, has disappeared from its locked jewelry box overnight. No broken lock. No open door. Just an empty box where the necklace should be.

But Nina is already on the case. She solves mysteries the way only a cat can, by watching closely, sniffing out what others miss, and following every clue to the very end. With her devoted friend Emily and her dramatic kitten sidekick Paris close behind, Nina tracks an open window, a set of muddy paw prints, and a broken chain near the library.

Every clue is right there on the page, so young readers get to solve the mystery alongside Nina. It all leads to a gentle, satisfying answer, the kind where nobody turns out to be truly bad and the whole town feels a little warmer at the end.

Perfect for boys and girls ages 5 to 9, as a bedtime read-aloud or a first chapter book to read alone. If your reader loves The Critter Club or Cam Jansen, or is a few years away from growing into Nancy Drew, they'll feel right at home in Whiskerville.
