A review by kpeninger
The Case of the Missing Museum Archives by Steve Brezenoff

2.0

I was disappointed by this second book the series. While I thought the first one was cutesy without any substance, it at least had a mystery that made some logical sense. But instead, the villain of this piece is very Scooby-Dooish, and we never understand WHY they did what they did- there didn't seem to be any real benefit for them. I was also disappointed because Amal, the POV character for this book, didn't actually STAY the POV character- halfway through it switched to Clementine. I was so excited to read a kid's book with a Somali girl in the lead (since Wilson remained the POV character throughout in the first book), but her book ended up being split. This ended up dropping my rating somewhat.

Also, I'm beginning to feel bad for Ruthie.
