 Chickadee, Atim, Samuel, and Otter, also known as the Mighty Muskrats, are ready to dive into their next case. Their Uncle Levi, a policeman has an unusual case. A bone-digger has gone missing! The archaeologist was hired to do a historical assessment of the area and has been missing for several days. The Mighty Muskrats decide to do a little investigating themselves. With the help of Grandfather and other family members, the Mighty Muskrats are ready to crack open the case. 

While I enjoyed the sleuthing and righting injustices of the youth involved, I did not feel that the swearing was necessary to the story line. The main characters do not swear; it’s the grownups that swear.
