John Watson has barely settled into his new school, Baker Street
Academy, when his teacher Ms De Rossi announces a trip to one of
London's top museums, home to the Alpine Star, the world's most famous

But the gem has been stolen - from right under their noses! The police

to Arthur Conan Doyle's classic characters will have every
young super-sleuth hooked!
