\"book<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Planning a mouse’s funeral,
a long-lost souvenir teacup reappearing,
his best friend’s mom going on a date – lots happening in 11-year-old Arthur’s life these days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He and little sister Ramona (mouse owner) live with their parents above the Boulder thrift store founded by his grandparents, and that’s where the teacup showed up. Grandpa recognized his favorite rock band’s cartoon bear mascot on it right away – but who brought it into the store?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mouse is back, as a ghost now called Watson – maybe here to be helpful? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arthur hopes that Watson’s ghostly stealth and observational skills help solve the teacup mystery and why store-worker Randolph dislikes Officer Bernstein and where the confidential consignment items file went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did someone bring items for the store to sell that were actually stolen?!
How could the thief snatch so many things from people’s homes without anyone noticing?
Will Grandpa’s prejudice make him accuse the wrong person? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Arthur can figure out why best friend Veda is mad at him, maybe she can help him and Watson solve “the perfect crime” in this entertaining mystery by the author of Noah McNichol and the Backstage Ghost<\/em> (recommended here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s the most unusual thing you’ve ever bought (or sold)?
