The Third-Grade Detectives visit
local the art museum on a field trip and find themselves in another mystery. A
priceless fifteenth-century statue of Joan of Arc has been stolen. It's on loan
from a Paris museum. The detectives eagerly offer to
help in the investigation,
but before they even get started the statue located in a thousand pieces in a
dumpster. Now why would some steal a valuable statue and then smash it to
