Hi there, I'm Sherlock Bones - I'm a tawny frogmouth skeleton (really) AND a mystery-solving superstar!

With my trusty partners, clever Watts and sassy Grace, I'm here to solve the mystery of the monster in the museum.

And we have a new sidekick, but he can be tricky to keep track of.

Join us for another super-fun adventure as we seek out the monster and save the museum.

You might not be able to hear Watts, because she's technically a stuffed parrot, but I always know what she's thinking.

And right now she's thinking: Can we solve the mystery of the monster in the museum?
