Ellie’s dragon necklace was missing. The necklace was a powerful vampire artifact given to her by her grandmother. If the necklace got into the wrong hands, the whole world can change in a second. Who could’ve stolen the necklace? The suspect list was on!

Another great, little mystery starring Scaredy Bat and her monster friends. A nice read

Reread this fun book again. Second time through as a read aloud with 7. A fabulous, wonderful storyline. Ellie is so inspiring. Love this book! All the books we’ve read by Marina J. Bowman are excellent. This one makes a great gift for kids ages 7-11 range.
