Some people think that museums are boring places full of glass cases,
dust and stuff no one cares about: wrong! In a hidden headquarters below
the exhibits there's a gang ready to handle dangerous, spooky or just
plain weird problems: the Museum Mystery Squad.
Techie-genius Nabster, mile-a-minute Kennedy and sharp-eyed Laurie
(along with Colin the hamster!) tackle the surprising conundrums
happening at the museum. From pre-historic creatures that move and
secret Egyptian codes to missing treasure and strange messages from the
past, there's no brain-twisting, totally improbable puzzle the Squad
can't solve.
Has someone been taking money from the museum's donations at night? Why
are there coins all over the floor?
In the Case of the Curious Coins the Squad enlists the help of a few
metallic friends -- robots from a new futuristic exhibition. These
super-cool robots might be able to build furniture, cook up a feast and
send messages, but can they spy on a thief?
Young readers will love the riddles, red herrings and big reveals
jam-packed into this fun-filled series of mystery stories by Mike
Nicholson. The enjoyable extras like wacky facts and activities, as well
as zany illustrations by Mike Phillips, will keep amateur detectives
entertained for hours.
