Bookroo's summary

Nancy and her friends are drawn into a mystery at a garage sale when a coveted ballerina painting vanishes. With $10 mysteriously appearing in the cash box, the painting's true value and fate become a puzzle. As Bess yearns for the artwork, Nancy must unravel the clues. Is the painting more valuable than it seems, and who took it? Dive into a tale of intrigue and unexpected twists as Nancy races to solve the mystery before the painting is lost forever.

From the publisher

Nancy and her friends are helping out at a garage sale, but they’re also hoping to discover some special treasures. Bess has her heart set on a ballerina painting, but right after the sale opens, it disappears. Then the girls realize there’s $10 too much in the cash box – the exact cost of the painting – so it wasn’t technically stolen after all. But Bess really wants that painting….and maybe it’s worth more than $10 after all!
