Vanessa Jane and the Museum Heist Mystery
By Martha Russel
Length4h 56m
About this audiobook
A museum guide quietly slips Vanessa a replica scarab that shouldn’t exist. Its colorful bands aren’t decoration… they’re a code. And that code points to something the museum never wanted found: a missing inventory list, proof that someone has been swapping real artifacts for fakes.
With her brave Yorkie pup Bruno and a new friend, Youssef, Vanessa races through exhibit halls, map-room riddles, and a lantern-lit night market where clues are traded in whispers. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more it feels like the “heist” is still happening… and someone is watching her every move.
One wrong step, and the evidence disappears.
Can Vanessa solve the cipher and stop the swap—before the museum’s greatest secret vanishes for good?
