You're in the Museum now - and ANYTHING can happen!

Goldie Roth lives in the city of Jewel, where impatience is a sin and boldness is a crime. But Goldie is both bold and impatient. She runs away to the mysterious Museum of Dunt, where she meets a boy named Toadspit and discovers dangerous secrets.

A monstrous brizzlehound stalks the museum's corridors, and only a thief can find the way through its strange, shifting rooms. Goldie and Toadspit have a talent for thieving. Which is just as well, because the treacherous Fugleman has his own plans for the museum, plans that threaten the lives of everyone Goldie loves. And it will take a very bold thief to stop him.

A thrilling tale of action and adventure.

She has not yet mastered the art of Concealment by the Imitation of Nothingness, but she is quite good at Camouflage.
