This book is about three kids on a big mission to find a missing dinosaur egg. Their names are Cammie, Tessa, their cousin Nate and Hooligan the dog. Cammie and Tessa are the children of the President of the United States and live at the White House. Cammie, Tessa, and Nate were asked by the Secret Service to help them solve a mystery about a missing dinosaur egg. They use Hooligan as their secret weapon.
I liked this book because the characters are smart and sneaky. Some words in the book are difficult, but even if I didn't understand some of the words I knew what was happening. It wasn't as suspenseful as the other book in this series, The Case of the Ruby Slippers, but I still recommend this book if you really like mysteries.
