Gr 1–3—In the third book of this series that combines mystery, adventure, and far-off places, siblings Ethan and Ella go to Paris. When they visit the Louvre, a famous painting is stolen and the pair help in the search, all while looking for a secret crêperie recommended by Grandpa Harry.
Twins Ethan and Ella head with their travel-writer mom and home-schooling dad to Paris, where they track down art thieves; Beijing, where they find a missing ancient map; and the Maasai Mara, where they see Africa's "Big Five" game animals. The travel guide–like highlights add a touch of novelty to the otherwise mystery-lite chapter books. Black-and-white illustrations are included. Glos. Review covers these Greetings from Somewhere titles: The Mystery in the Forbidden City, The Mystery of the Lion's Tail, and The Mystery of the Stolen Painting.
