Mystery of the Missing Luck

Sara pushed open the bakery door. "Where is Maneki Neko?" she asked Obaachan. Obaachan was Sara's Japanese grandmother. She stood behind a long counter with a glass front. More buns and pastries were lined up behind the glass. Usually Obaachan smiled broadly when Sara arrived. But this afternoon her round face was long and sad. "Gone," she said. "Maneki Neko is gone." Sara loves her grandmother's bakery. It's a special place-not only because of its delicious Japanese buns and pastries, but also because of the time Sara spends there with Obaachan, her grandmother. But things aren't going well for the bakery. When Maneki Neko, the bakery's lucky cat statue, goes missing, Sara wonders if the bakery's luck is gone for good. Then a mysterious nighttime cat inspires a plan. With the help of her school friend, Jake, Sara just might be able to find the lucky cat and restore the bakery's lost luck.
