Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose visit New York City! Dink's uncle is the curator of a museum with a dazzling new treasure--a statue of a jaguar cradling an emerald between its front paws. But when it's discovered that the emerald has been replaced with a fake, Dink's uncle is the chief suspect. He'll go to jail if Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose can't uncover the real thief!

From the Back Cover

When the kids visit Dink's uncle in New York City, they're dazzled by his museum's latest treasure -- a statue of a gold jaguar with a precious emerald between its paws. But when the jewel is swapped for a fake, the police name Dink's uncle as a suspect! It's up to Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose to uncover the real crook. Who stole the jaguar's jewel?

My daughter is obsessed with these books. They’re below her reading level as a 4th grade who’s reading high school level books. But she loves them and the mystery.

Another well written kid's adventure book from A to Z ! I love reading these books with my 7 year old grandson. They are full of clues, which we try to catch and discuss. Some lead away and some to the culprit. They are also filled with information about the subject matter, in this case jewels.

5.0 out of 5 stars stolen best jewel!!
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2024
I liked this because Ruth Rose did her Ruth Rose idea. She didn’t do it in the lucky lottery. I gave it 5 stars because I really liked it! I would recommend this book for my friend Drew. I didn’t like that they went into the office when they weren’t supposed to. I was shivering during that part. I had goosebumps! 🩷

I let my daughter search the Kindle book library and she picked this book. She enjoyed the book and was able to take an AR test on it that week. It is much more enjoyable watching her read instead of playing video games.

NYに住むDinkのおじさんの３人で会いに行きます。

もちろん、事件が起ります（＾＾）←起らなければ話しにならない……

Dinkのおじさんは、美術系の仕事で、Officeに宝石をもったジャガーの置き物（？）が届きます。しかし、その宝石は偽者だった！！

そこで、３人が調べ始めるのですが、今回は怪しい人がたくさんでてきます。Dinkは、自分のおじさんも疑わないといけなくなる〜（T_T）

犯人は、誰なのか？？Dinkのおじさんなの？？

最後は、またハラハラドキドキです！！（＊＾＾＊）

NYについた日に、３人は中華料理を食べるのですが、そこでもらえるフォーチュンクッキーの中に入ってる紙のメッセージが、実現していくのです。DInkの場合は、幾度となくお話の中にからんできます。

これも、モカ的にはとても気に入りました（＊＾＾＊）

ラストシーンも素敵ですよ〜
