The Mystery of the Missing Ming — Anne Loader McGee

Thirteen-year-old Cedar Creek sleuth, Mallory Gilmartin, is once again involved in a mystery filled with risk and intrigue. An antique Ming vase has been stolen from the town's elderly librarian-the same vase that someone claims was stolen from them some thirty years earlier. Aided by a determined ghostly apparition from the past, Mallory finds herself on a dangerous path as she attempts to unravel the truth behind the strange missing Ming. Following in the same vein as Anne Loader McGee's first book in the Cedar Creek mystery series, The Mystery at Marlatt Manor, the second book, The Mystery of the Missing Ming, is equally full of YA paranormal action, adventure, and mystery, with elements of surprise guaranteed to keep your heart pounding throughout every page.
