Mason is having
a birthday party/sleepover at the local natural history museum. Part of the fun
is a scavenger hunt with his two best friends, during which time Mason is
supposed to decide which hall they are going to sleep in for the night. Most
rooms are too scary and still others Mason has random problems with. But first
they must solve all the riddles!
This is a
fantastic book for reading before a natural history museum field trip. It
features maps of the building and will pique students curiosity. It could lead
to an after field trip assignment of writing about which place they would want
to sleep in overnight. The artwork is top notch and readers will have fun trying
to figure out the clues along with the characters.
