Description
With a brand-new Three Investigators series finally launched into the world, it’s a great time to also revisit the classic books. The new series, conceived and co-written by Elizabeth Arthur, Robert Arthur’s daughter, brings Jupiter, Pete, and Bob into the 21st century. It offers fresh adventures that resonate with today’s readers while preserving the timeless spirit of the original tales. But for old fans who fell in love with the series many years ago, this anniversary edition is also a must.
In The Mystery of the Vanishing Treasure, Jupiter, Pete, and Bob are in hot pursuit of a magnificent gold belt, studded with jewels, which once belonged to an ancient line of Japanese emperors.
When it is stolen from under their noses at the Peterson Museum, the Three Investigators are determined to find it - partly to help Taro Togati, a Japanese boy whose father will be disgraced if they don't. Soon they're tangling with garden gnomes, gymnasts, and a gang of ruthless criminals!
By turns intriguing, funny, and perplexing, the fifth book in Robert Arthur's classic mystery series promises to please not only the existing fan base of The Three Investigators series but a whole new generation of readers who will find in its pages three very different boys whose imagination, courage, and intelligence can remind us that curiosity, perseverance, and rational inquiry are just as vital as friendship and cooperation.
After all, the motto of The Three Investigators is "We Investigate Anything," and their trademark is “? ? ? ” - three question marks, taken together.
Continue the adventure with the contemporary Three Investigators series, crafted for a slightly older audience. The new series spans twenty-six books, from The Mystery of the Abecedarian Academy to The Mystery of the Zoroastrian Zodiac. Explore the full reboot at
