Amber brings her mom's tiara to ballet class that she plans on wearing in the ballet of The Nutcracker to show to her friends. During class she leaves it in her bag in the locker room, and it goes missing!

Super-sleuth Kayla is on the case! Kayla and Vicky begin taking notes, interviewing classmates, and collecting clues, but in the meantime Kayla's life is in for a few exciting moments of its own.

She lands the leading role in the school play, which she is very excited about, but discovers she has stage fright and is having problems remembering her lines. Not to mention that huge crush she has on Jason!

The girls rush to solve the case of the missing tiara in time for the big day and discover things are not always as black and white as they seem.

BALLERINA DETECTIVE AND THE MISSING JEWELED TIARA was a quick, fun read of a group of tween kids just beginning to realize their dreams and that it takes hard work to accomplish them. Recommended for girls ages nine through thirteen.
