Nothing is as it seems when thirteen-year-old Minerva agrees to help Angus Paine find out who set fire to his family's haunted grocery store. One minute Angus is friendly and helpful; the next he's distant and deceitful. Complicating matters, Minerva's estranged mother wants Minerva to welcome her new stepfather. Karbo's protagonist is a distinctive character with an authentic young-adolescent perspective.

Thirteen-year-old mystery-solver Minerva agrees to help her snobby, rich classmate, Chelsea, track down Chelsea's missing red diamond ring, in this sequel to Minerva Clark Gets a Clue. Minerva uncovers evidence in a trashcan, on a movie set, and at an animal shelter, and eventually solves the crime. Her spunk in the face of adversity makes Minerva a memorable heroine.
