No one would actually send real diamonds to a dog, would they? Now that one of the gems is missing, first kids Cammie and Tessa Parks are no longer so sure that the big, fat diamonds on Hooligan's new collar are imitations. But how can they know for sure? Why would someone representing the president of a nearby country send a dog such a valuable gift? In this second book in the First Kids Mystery series, the president's daughters tackle a puzzling new case that casts suspicions on members of the White House staff.
Martha Freeman is inspired by her three energetic children. She is the author of many books for children of all ages, including the Chickadee Court mysteries: WHO STOLE GRANDMA'S MILLION-DOLLAR PUMPKIN PIE?; WHO STOLE UNCLE SAM?; WHO STOLE HALLOWEEN?, a Texas Bluebonnet Award nominee; and WHO IS STEALING THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS?
