About this ebook
Frank and Joe are excited for their field trip to the Bayport Museum of Natural History with their science club. Not only will they get to see some awesome dinosaur skeletons on display, but they also get to go on their very own fossil dig on the museum grounds.
At the dig, fellow classmate Tico uncovers an old dinosaur tooth—even though Tico’s biggest competition in the club, Aisha, claims she found it first. And when Tico realizes his tooth is missing—a tooth that turns out to be immensely valuable—all signs point to Aisha. But is she really the culprit? It’s up to Frank and Joe to dig deep for the answers in a case that is bigger than they ever imagined!

Bad News
Joe Hardy’s clawlike fingers crept across the kitchen table and grabbed the helpless hot dog.
Roar!
he growled in his best dinosaur voice. He chomped down on the hot dog with his teeth and tore a piece off.
His brother, Frank, raised his eyebrows. Uh, what are you supposed to be, exactly?
An ultrasaurus. Can’t you tell?
Joe said.
Ultrasauruses are herbivores, remember? They only eat plants,
Frank pointed out.
Oh.
Joe considered this. "I’m a T. rex, then. They’re carnivores, right?"
"Right. T. rex loves meat. Except they didn’t have hot dogs back then," Frank joked.
Joe grinned. Ha-ha.
The two brothers had talked about nothing but dinosaurs all weekend. The next day they were going on a field trip to the Bayport Natural History Museum with their school’s science club. The museum was famous for its huge brachiosaur skeleton, and a bunch of other dinosaur artifacts too. The boys couldn’t wait!
Joe and Frank really liked the science club, which was led by science teacher Mr. Wachowski. Their good friends Phil Cohen and Chet Morton were in it. The other members were Tico Sanchez and Aisha Mehta from Frank’s fourth-grade class and Isobel Kaltman from Joe’s third-grade class. The club was pretty new, but they’d already done some cool activities—like growing bacteria in petri dishes and seeing who could turn bananas brown and yucky the fastest.
Joe took a sip of his lemonade. Hey, Frank? What are the dinosaurs that eat everything? Om . . . Omni . . .
"Omnivores. They eat plants and meat," Frank said.
"Yeah, that’s me. I’m an omnivore! I’m going to hunt down hot dogs and french fries!" Joe reached for Frank’s plate. Roar!
"Hey, those are my fries!" Frank protested.
Just then Aunt Gertrude strolled into the kitchen holding a basket of clean, folded laundry. You dinosaurs need to goof around less and eat more,
she scolded. Your mother needs your help in the yard, remember?
Joe and Frank groaned. They had almost forgotten about spring cleanup. Leave it to Aunt Gertrude to remind them of something not fun.
Still, Aunt Gertrude wasn’t always the Queen of Chores. And she had been a big help to Mr. and Mrs. Hardy since moving in with them. She lived in a big room over the garage that Mr. Hardy had fixed up.
Afterward can we go over to Chet’s house?
Frank pleaded. He invited us to come over and check out his new Dinosaur Rampage video game.
Yes. Did you make up your beds?
Aunt Gertrude asked.
Uh . . .
Joe and Frank exchanged a glance.
"Yard work, then make your beds, and then you may
