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.
Most days Cammie is tired of being the daughter of the first female president of the United States and just wants her real life back. She's feeling the stress of having to be on display so often. Plus, her oversized and overly enthusiastic dog Hooligan keeps getting into trouble. That's why she's thrilled when her very favorite group, the famous teenage sensation called The Song Boys, is scheduled to perform at a literacy event at the White House. But when White House objects disappear, the event is in jeopardy. With some help from her younger sister Tessa and Hooligan, Cammie tackles the mystery—and helps save the concert.

It was the most magnificent court in Europe—a world of fairy-tale opulence, ornate architecture, sophisticated fashion, extravagant luxury, and immense power. In the last Russian imperial court, a potent underlying mythology drove its participants to enact the pageantry of medieval, Orthodox Russia—infused with the sensibilities of Versailles—against a backdrop of fading Edwardian splendor, providing a spectacle of archaic ceremonies carefully orchestrated as a lavish stage upon which Nicholas II played out his tumultuous reign. While a massive body of literature has been devoted to the last of the Romanovs, The Court of the Last Tsar is the first book to examine the people, mysteries, traditions, scandals, rivalries, rituals, and riches that were part of everyday life in the last two decades of the Romanov dynasty. It is as difficult for the twenty-first-century mind to imagine the pomp and splendor that accompanied the tsar and his family everywhere they went as it was for the simple Russian peasant toiling a thousand miles from St. Petersburg. This stunningly illustrated volume removes the mystery with more than a hundred black-and-white photos; floor plans of the tsar’s Winter Palace, the Alexander Palace, and the Grand Kremlin Palace; a map of St. Petersburg; and plans of the imperial parks at Tsarskoye Selo and Peterhof. This eye-popping tour of hedonistic imperial Russia on the edge of oblivion draws on hundreds of previously unpublished primary sources, including memoirs, personal letters, diary entries, and official documents collected during author Greg King’s fifteen years of research in Russia and elsewhere in Europe. It invites you to experience dozens of extravagant ceremonies and entertainments attended only by members of the court; exposes the numerous sexual intrigues of the imperial family, including rape, incest, and brazen affairs; and introduces many of the more than fifteen thousand individuals who made the imperial court a society unto itself. Chief among these, of course, was Tsar Nicholas II. He ruled an empire that stretched over one-sixth of the earth’s land surface but lacked, according to one courtier, both his father’s inspiring presence and his mother’s vibrant charm. His wife, Alexandra, was a strong and passionate woman who “never developed the social skills necessary to her rank.” Their wedding and the tsar’s coronation are two of the most spectacular ceremonies described in this lavish volume. Vetted with care by the last remaining members of the Russian imperial court, The Court of the Last Tsar brings the people, places, and events of this doomed but unforgettable wonderland to vivid and sparkling life.
Just a few months after solving their first case as Private Eye Cats, Scooter and Nugget realize its time to get back to work as crime fighting detectives after another mysterious crime occurs in their usually quiet Miami Beach neighborhood. Their second case, however, proves to be more puzzling and dangerous than their first. When these two feline sisters discover that a dog named Jewel has been kidnapped from her home and the police are offering little help in solving the case, they move quickly to find the thief and return Jewel to her owner. Using their ability to speak English as well as cat talk, and with the help of their human friend Tyrone Williams who worked with them on their first case, they plan a course of action. Solving this crime will be far from easy. The crime fighting cats have no idea who the kidnapper is. They not only have to discover the identity of the lawbreaker, they also have to figure out a way to contact him. Scooter, Nugget, and Mr. Williams face an additional challenge. How can they trick the thief into meeting with them so they are able to recover Jewel and have their suspect arrested? Step by step, as in their first case, our detectives work out every detail of how they will investigate this misdeed and see it to a successful conclusion. However, it seems that every stride they make in the right direction leads to a dead end, and the kidnapper turns out to be a dangerous character. Your heart will race as you follow the action. Youll wonder all along if Jewel will ever be returned. You will also be surprised at who becomes the hero of this adventure. The Case Of The Kidnapped Dog is an entertaining story for you to read and a real test of the crime detection abilities of our private eye sisters.
