By Caitlind L. Alexander

“In China, it is very important to give a young girl jade. A family will even go into debt to get a very good piece of jade jewelry. But usually they don’t have to buy a bracelet. Jade is passed down in families from generation to generation, just like my bracelet was passed down to me.”
The Brodericks could tell that the jade was important to Shing Lee. But why wouldn’t the shop keeper return her bracelet to her?

See if you can solve this 15-minute mystery before the Brodericks do.
