After twelve-year-old John Boarhog\u2019s mom dies, the last thing he wants is to be schlepped off to the Jersey Home for Boys, where kids are forced to make skinny jeans for hipsters and are fed nothing but kale. Instead, he makes himself a snug home in the ceiling of the New York Museum of Natural History, where he reads anything he get his hands on and explores the artifacts afterhours.
\nBut when a rare Egyptian ruby\u2014the highlight of the museum\u2019s new exhibit\u2014goes missing, John is accused of the crime. That is until the unpredictable Inspector Toadius McGee sweeps in to wrestle control of the case, certain that the true culprit is a notorious criminal he\u2019s been tracking for years.
\nJohn quickly becomes the Watson to Toadius\u2019s Holmes as they race from Broadway to back alleys to a speak-easy that only serves root beer. And along the way, John uncovers secrets about his own past, including that he\u2019s a lot more involved in this web of endearing ne'er-do-wells than he ever could have imagined.
\nA love letter to classic middle grade, Egypt's Fire<\/i> introduces a remarkable new duo that will steal your heart as surely as it leaves you begging for their next grand adventure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
