From the Publisher

Here is a colorful, fun, and delightful "Whodunnit?" for kids who love solving mysteries. The city of mice is about to make an ancient discovery, printed on black papyrus that holds the secret of youth. The city mouse writer wants to get the scoop on the details, and goes to the mouseum's director, but sees the Egyptian artifact and suddenly it is missing. Mice of all types show up. Some have motives, others have skills to help solve the mystery...but who can you trust? This book has a fun, chapter book style and a second, bonus "Mini Mystery" story, "The Cat Gang," in which readers must review the clues, which ask questions that can be answered by closely examining each page. What a great way to get young readers engaged the story and helping to solve the problem in the end. As added support for new readers, every page has descriptive words highlighted, enlarged or printed in fun text that show where to put the emphasis right where it belongs in the story. Illustrations are detailed, varied and exciting, and they play a large role in the stories success. The final chapter is a section of jokes—cheesy mouse ones. Also includes maps of New Mouse City and Mouse Island. I find young readers who love a mystery also love lots of details. This book has it all. It comes highly recommended! Reviewer: Diane Lane; Ages 6 to 12.
