Grade 3-5?Brian and his younger sister, Penny, a.k.a. Pea Brain, have once again become entangled in a mystery. This time, they find a piece of a mammoth's tusk buried in their backyard. However, when they take it to the local museum to display in the student science-fair exhibit, it soon disappears. Like Rude, Rowdy Rumors and School Spirit Sabotage (both HarperCollins, 1994), this title is a light and entertaining read, but it also gives some information about woolly mammoths. Brian and Penny are believable siblings who argue their way through the story. The language, because it is fresh and familiar, will appeal to children. Though the mystery itself isn't very suspenseful, the book does provide interesting, quirky characters with a substantial plot. Humorous full- and half-page black-ink drawings are scattered throughout.?Carrie A. Guarria, Lindenhurst Memorial Library, NY
