      Gr 2-4- A team of diverse young detectives-museum geeks one and all-solve mysteries happening in the different museums of Capitol City. The idea of kids with almost complete access to various museums night or day is appealing and the mysteries, if slight, introduce new chapter book readers to elements of the genre. Occasional full-color illustrations add to the appeal of these adventures. Each book includes additional facts dealing with the subject matter, as well as discussion questions, writing prompts, and a glossary.

      These museum-set mysteries involve the disappearance of paleontologists and dinosaur fossils (Mom) and Sally Ride's space suit (Space). The diverse cast (including an African American computer geek with two moms and a headscarf-wearing Somali American who loves astronomy) is superficially developed, but the fast-paced plots will appeal to mystery fans. Full-color illustrations, discussion questions, and writing prompts are included. Timeline. Glos.
