London Art Chase and A Dolphin Wish are the first two books in the Faithgirlz Glimmer Girls Series by Natalie Grant. (The third book, The Miracle in Music City, is set to be released later this year.)
The first book in the Faithgirlz Glimmer Girls Series is London Art Chase.
Because London Art Chase is a "tween" book, I am going to hand this over to my daughter for the review (*spoilers included*):
Maddie, her sisters (Mia and Lulu), her nanny, and her parents are off to London! Maddie's mom (Gloria Glimmer) is a famous singer , and she's performing in a concert. On a trip to the National Gallery, Maddie sees a thief steal her favorite painting. She drags her sisters all over London to find the thief, and even goes so far as to break the rules and run away! Maddie soon finds that the thief wasn't really a thief, but someone who cleans the paintings! But she and the "thief" (Mr. Hughs) soon find the real thief and get back their paintings. Maddie became a hero!

The second book in the Faithgirlz Glimmer Girls Series is A Dolphin Wish.
Mia is off to San Diego! She goes to Captain Swashbuckler's Adventure Park and finds out that someone is letting out the animals! Mia doesn't want anything to happen to the dolphins, so she buries herself into the mystery, wanting to be a hero like Maddie. Lulu, the greatest fit-thrower ever and never afraid to stand up for herself or her sisters, (and always speaks her mind), is a great help to Mia and she soon solves the mystery after the third trip to the theme park! Mia is now a hero like Maddie! Now it's Lulu's turn!
