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
I found this book really confusing and hard to follow at the beginning. I think it is part of a series and maybe you need to read them in order to find out the most about the characters.

I found this a little bit uninteresting - I thought the drawings looked strange and I struggled to finish this book

I liked this book, because it was exciting. My favourite character was Colin the Hamster, because he's a hamster! Yes, I'd recommend this story.

This was the first Museum Mystery Squad book that I read. The way that the viking hidden down the trapdoor on the viking long ship was very unusual. I was not expecting the roadworkers to be involved with the missing viking.
