Charlie and the Whiz Kids discover a prehistoric mammoth tusk and
stumble right into the nefarious clutches of an eccentric billionaire in
this hilarious third novel of the Charlie Numbers series.
Charlie Numbers and his gang of Whiz Kids--along with a few new
allies--are on another mission: this time, to uncover the truth behind
the mysterious mammoth tusk they found buried in the Boston Public
Gardens.
Their hunch? Blake Headstrom, eccentric billionaire, philanthropist, and
collector of some renown, has been smuggling mammoth tusks into the
city. The only question is: Why? Selling woolly mammoth tusks isn't
illegal...but selling elephant ivory is. And Charlie's certain
Headstrom's plans are more sinister than they seem.
But Headstrom is a powerful man, with powerful connections. If the Whiz
Kids want to expose him for the criminal they know he is, they're going
to have to catch him red-handed. Now if only Headstrom's henchmen
weren't lurking at every turn...
