Bookroo's summary

In a museum's hidden depths, the Museum Mystery Squad faces their toughest challenge yet. Tech-savvy Nabster, quick-witted Kennedy, and observant Laurie, with Colin the hamster, must unravel a cryptic message on Pharaoh Raneb's casket. As they encounter the eccentric Professor Gyptex and the peculiar Vera Damclot, the squad races against time to uncover the mummy's secret. Can they crack the ancient code before it's too late? Dive into a world of moving creatures, hidden treasures, and puzzling hieroglyphics in this thrilling adventure filled with twists and turns.

From the publisher

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 prehistoric creatures and secret Egyptian code breaking to missing treasure and strange messages from the past, there’s no brain-twisting, totally improbable puzzle the Squad can’t solve.
