Clarissa and Paw, her Saint Bernard, are visiting their friend, Mrs. Booksteen, when her neighbor boy’s bear goes missing. Where could it have disappeared to? Paw soon finds the bear, but then the real mystery begins. Why is there a key inside the stuffed bear? What does it go to and who put it there? More importantly, why is the boy’s stepdad so determined to get the bear back?

Clarissa and Paw will have to dig up clues to solve the case.

This is a 5000 word mini mystery/short story. This is the fourth book in the Clarissa and Paw Mini Mystery Series. The first book is The Mystery of the Blue Dolphins.
