A new JULIE mystery by Kathryn Reiss

Puzzle of the Paper Daughter



Inside the pocket of an old jacket, Julie discovers a mysterious note written in Chinese. Then Julie's and her friend Ivy's beloved dolls are stolen, and the theft seems to be linked to a story from long ago--and maybe to a long-lost treasure!

Be sure to read the first Julie mystery, too!

The Tangled Web



Julie really likes the new girl in her class, Carla Warner. Still, there is something odd about her. The things Carla says don't quite add up, and she avoids answering questions about her family. At first Julie is sure there's a sensible explanation, but soon she starts to wonder what's really going on. A disturbing discovery leads her to realize that her new friend may be in real danger!
