In the first book, Who Stole Mr. T?, Leila and Nugget’s snow day plans are derailed when a neighborhood pet goes missing. They must navigate a cast of quirky suspects, from a strange construction worker to a cranky neighbor, while racing against time to solve the mystery before the culprit strikes again. The suspense builds, keeping readers guessing until the very end.

The second installment, The Case with No Clues, takes Leila and Nugget on a historical adventure as they uncover a treasure hunt created by a long-gone principal. With the clues lost to time, they embark on a quest to find the missing treasure, blending history with thrilling detective work. Finally, in Bark at the Park, the duo faces chaos at a baseball event, where a dog stampede and a kidnapped mascot create a race against time to save the day. Each story in the Leila & Nugget Mystery Box Set is filled with fun, friendship, and problem-solving, making it a delightful read for children.
