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.

August 15, 2011
The vivacious daughters of the President of the United States, Cammie and her younger sister Tessa, are back at their sleuthing best in this follow up to The Case of the Rock 'n' Roll Dog (2010).
Life is never dull for these sisters. Their mom is the President, and their dog is the exuberantly acrobatic and aptly named Hooligan. This latest mystery involves a faux-diamond–studded dog collar, a gift to Hooligan from a Pekingese who belongs to the president of a "certain nearby nation." Just before the collar goes missing, the girls discover that the diamonds are genuine. The house is suddenly filled with suspects. Could the thief be the visiting dog trainer or one of the staff members? And could this turn out to be a coup attempt on the "certain nearby nation"? In full Agatha Christie mode, the girls deduce motives and gather clues. When the commotion ramps up, it's keen-eared Hooligan who bounds to the rescue. Cammie's cheerful narration gives voice to the action and drops details about the White House, while occasionally mentioning her nostalgia for life before the Oval Office (when she could go to the mall without the Secret Service and she didn't have to share her mom with the world).
This little gem will be just right for grade-school detectives and budding politicians alike. (Mystery. 7-11)

October 15, 2011 Grades 2-4 First Kids Cammie and Tessa Parks are back for a second Capital caper. The action starts shortly after the events of The Case of the Rock 'n' Roll Dog (2010) and are referenced to fold readers into the current story. White House pooch Hooligan has been given a rhinestone collar by the dog of another world leader. But are the stones really fake? After a famous diamond from the other nation disappears, and then Hooligan's collar, the girls know there is a link. Fans of the first book will enjoy this one, too, as Hooligan's talent for mayhem drives the mystery.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
January 1, 2012 President's daughters Cammie and Tessa (The Case of the Rock n Roll Dog) investigate a diamond dog collar sent to their dog Hooligan. The First Kids are the only ones who believe it's real--and they worry when one of the diamonds goes missing. The large cast of characters is difficult to keep straight, but Cammie and Tessa ground the story.
