The Case of the Museum Switch

Sam didn’t break the statue.
He didn’t even touch the statue.
But somehow he’s the prime suspect in the most dramatic museum disaster of the year.

The evidence? Weird.
The timing? Suspicious.
The whole situation? A setup — and not even a good one.

To clear Sam’s name, the friends dive back into the museum and immediately find themselves drowning in suspects: an intern who’s way too nervous, a restorer who dodges every question, a curator with expensive taste, a guard who knows every camera angle… and a sweet old guide whose clever cat keeps showing up in the wrong places.

As the Guardians follow the trail, they discover that the real mystery is bigger — and stranger — than a broken statue.

Fast, funny, and packed with twists, The Case of the Museum Switch is perfect for ages 8–12 — especially readers who enjoy shorter, easy‑to‑read middle grade books full of puzzling clues, quirky characters, and mysteries that won’t let you stop turning pages.
