Leila and Nugget Mysteries

“Leila & Nugget Mysteries” are cute, funny chapter books that get even reluctant readers to beg for one more chapter.

Leila and Nugget have big plans for their snow day-that is, until a neighborhood pet goes missing. Now, they've got to solve the mystery before the turtlenapper can strike again. Could it be Weirdy Beardy, the construction worker? Perhaps it's the cranky, old neighbor lady. Or maybe, just maybe, this is an inside job. Who Stole Mr. T? will keep young readers guessing until the last page. “Leila & Nugget Mysteries” reward developing readers with nonstop laughs, twists, and-of course-cute pets.

Leila Beal and her little dog, Nugget, are back in this second installment of Leila & Nugget Mysteries. A treasure hunt ensues at Englewood Elementary. There's just one problem-there are no clues! Mr. McGee was the principal of Englewood Elementary in 1947, and the students have just discovered that he created a massive treasure hunt all those years ago... But Mr. McGee disappeared before he could share any of the clues. Seventy years later, Leila and Nugget are ready to crack the case and find that missing treasure. From best-selling author Dustin Brady (Trapped in a Video Game series), Leila & Nugget Mysteries reward developing readers with nonstop laughs, twists, and-of course-cute pets. Deserae and Dustin Brady are the parents of Leila Brady (a girl) and Nugget Brady (a dog). They live in Cleveland, Ohio. Dustin wants to buy a turtle. Deserae does not. April Brady grew up in Maine and has been bringing her imagination to life in pencil since she was a wee lass. Teaming up with her family to tell stories is her favorite thing to do. When she isn't drawing, she gets to have new adventures with her own little girls (the real Leila's cousins). "A well-constructed mix of brains and footwork." "Ultimately this lighthearted account celebrates community and a love for reading, with lessons learned and mysteries pleasantly solved."
