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 moving pre-historic creatures 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.
There's nothing deader than a mammoth -- not just dead but completely
extinct. So how can it be moving at night?
In the Case of the Moving Mammoth, the Squad investigate the museum's
new star exhibit, on loan from Tyrone O'Saurus, ringmaster of the
traveling Dinosaur Circus. There must be a reasonable explanation for a
shifting stuffed prehistoric animal. Can they sift through the clues and
unravel the puzzle before the museum faces a mammoth-sized problem?
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.
