A priceless sculpture disappears from the Capitol City Art Museum, but not everyone seems eager to get it back. Insurance money could solve one problem and fund a new education wing, which makes the theft feel even stranger to Clementine Wim and her friends. Clementine is not ready to let a stolen work of art become yesterday’s news. With the Statue of Gudea missing and too many questions unanswered, the friends begin digging into motives, clues, and the people who may know more than they admit. The case asks readers to think about value, truth, and why a missing object might matter even when money can replace it. This art-museum mystery gives young readers a thoughtful detective story with friendship at its center. It is a good choice for kids who like stolen-object cases, museum settings, and puzzles that ask who benefits from a crime.
