Museum Mystery Squad and the Case of the Vanishing Viking
Mike Nicholson, Mike Phillips
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.
The discovery of new Viking treasure brings the museum its biggest exhibit yet — a giant longboat. With such a huge attraction on show there’s plenty of room to hide a secret, or two.
In the Case of the Vanishing Viking, the Squad investigate legendary longboats, rare runes and hidden hoards to try to solve their latest mystery.
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.
Reviews
It was a good book but I would have liked it more if it had a more exciting lead up to solving the case. I would also have liked it more if the book had more scenes with the criminals.
