Alison Leigh Powers, an eleven-year-old girl who loves to solve mysteries, wants to make some money to buy a horse. When her mother, who is a librarian and book conservator, is hired by Mr. Smith to catalogue and repair his miniature book collection in order to prepare it for sale, she asks Alison to help. The job goes well at first, but soon, some of the books turn up missing.

Who is responsible for the missing miniature books? The books are quite valuable and Alison's mom will be held accountable unless Alison can get to the bottom of the mystery. There are many people who might want the books, either for the money they will bring or because they are collectors. Can Alison figure out what happened to the books?

The Mystery of the Missing Miniature Books is another fun mystery featuring girl sleuth Alison Powers. She is bright, inquisitive, and ends up learning quite a bit during the detective process. The information included about miniature books is fascinating, something that many readers will probably never have heard of before. Young readers will be entranced by The Mystery of the Missing Miniature Books. Parents will make a wise choice with the purchase of any books from Ms. Kinman's Alison Leigh Powers series.
