Horrible Harry and the Missing Diamond

Author Suzy Kline
Illustrated by Amy Wummer
When the diamond on Miss Mackle’s engagement ring disappears, the kids in Room 3B are determined to help her find it—especially Harry. The third grade talent show is coming up, and he wants to show off his skills as South School’s greatest detective. Meanwhile, Doug has no idea what to do for his act. He can’t sing like Dexter, or dance like Ida, or solve mysteries like Harry. Now the best friends have to find both Doug’s talent and the teacher’s diamond, or else the talent show will be a horrible disaster for everyone!
Praise for the Horrible Harry series:

"Not many series reach the 20-year mark, but this one is still going strong."--Booklist

"Kline is right on the mark when it comes to both her audience and her characters."--Booklist
 

Suzy Kline's first Horrible Harry book was published in 1988. Since then she has written more than thirty books about Harry and his friends in Room 3B.

Suzy grew up in California and now lives in Willington, Connecticut with her husband, Rufus. They have a number of children and grandchildren. Suzy taught in 5th and 6th grades at Shannon Elementary School in Richmond, California for 3 years, and 2nd and 3rd grades at Southwest Elementary School in Torrington, Connecticut for 24 years before retiring to write full time.

Suzy and Rufus enjoy attending UConn football and basketball games, and Suzy uses the UConn library as a reference for her writing facts.
