Eleven-year-old Neela dreams of being a famous musician, performing for admiring crowds on her traditional Indian stringed instrument. Her particular instrument was a gift from her grandmother—intricately carved with a mysterious-looking dragon. When this special family heirloom vanishes from a local church, strange clues surface: a tea kettle ornamented with a familiar pointy-faced dragon, a threatening note, a connection to a famous dead musician, and even a legendary curse.
Great mystery book appropriate for upper elementary and middle school students. I loved learning about the Indian culture and felt like their was an appropriate amount of action and intrigue to move the story along. Overall I really enjoyed it!
