Bookroo's summary

Wilson Kipper notices something strange at the Museum of Natural History: hominids in the dinosaur exhibit. Determined to uncover the truth, Wilson and his friends investigate the nightly alterations. Is it a janitor, a new professor, or someone else? Meanwhile, at the Air and Space Museum, Amal Farah faces a different mystery. As a new exhibit is set to open, crucial items vanish, threatening the event. With the exhibit's future at stake, Amal and her friends must solve the mystery before it's too late. Can they uncover the truth behind these museum mysteries?

From the publisher

The Air and Space Museum is adding a new exhibit, and Amal Farah and her friends get to attend the grand opening! But before the new exhibit goes live, some of the items go missing. This won’t be good-the exhibit is funded by a rich local businessman, and without the objects to show, the exhibit can’t open. Did another museum take the object, trying to make up for missing funding? Was it a thief interested in telescopes? Or someone else? Amal and her friends are determined to solve this crazy mystery!
