With help from their friends (and rivals), the Junior Pinkertons, the girls must crack codes, unravel clues and race against time to solve the mystery.

But when a famous painting is stolen from the Guggenheim Museum, where Aunt Gloria works, the surprises begin to mount faster than they could have anticipated. With the police looking at Aunt Gloria as the prime suspect, Ted, Kat, and Salim become sleuthing partners, following a trail of clues across NYC to prove her innocence--and to pinpoint the real thief. Ultimately, it comes down to Ted, whose brain works in its own very unique way, to find the key to the mystery. "Fast-paced, suspenseful, but never scary, a middle-grade mystery with a singular voice and a welcome continuation of the Sparks'' adventures." -- Kirkus Reviews "Swift pacing and smartly integrated clues allow readers to make connections along with the characters. Stevens''s portrayal of Ted, who is on the autism spectrum, is positive and empowering" -- School Library Journal "A welcome return for this dynamic trio." -- Booklist

Vervolg op Het reuzenradmysterie Mijn naam is Ted Spark. Ik ben 12 jaar en 281 dagen oud. Ik heb zeven vrienden. Drie maanden geleden heb ik het mysterie opgelost van de verdwijning van mijn neef Salim uit het London Eye. Dit is het verhaal van mijn tweede mysterie. Deze zomer ging ik op vakantie naar New York om mijn tante Gloria en neef Salim te bezoeken. Toen ik daar was, werd er een schilderij gestolen uit het Guggenheim Museum, waar mijn tante Gloria werkt. Iedereen was heel ongerust en verdrietig. Ik begreep het probleem niet. Ik zie niet het nut van schilderijen, zelfs als ze 9,8 miljoen dollar waard zijn. Misschien komt dat door mijn ongewone brein, dat anders werkt dan dat van andere mensen. Maar toen werd tante Gloria beschuldigd van diefstal – en tante Gloria is familie. En toen besefte ik hoe belangrijk het is om het schilderij te vinden en te ontdekken wie het echt had meegenomen.

My name is Ted Spark. I am 12 years and 281 days old. I have seven friends. Three months ago, I solved the mystery of how my cousin Salim disappeared from a pod on the London Eye. This is the story of my second mystery. This summer, I went on holiday to New York, to visit Aunt Gloria and Salim. While I was there, a painting was stolen from the Guggenheim Museum, where Aunt Gloria works. Everyone was very worried and upset. I did not see what the problem was. I do not see the point of paintings, even if they are worth millions of pounds. Perhaps that''s because of my very unusual brain, which works on a different operating system to everyone else''s. But then Aunt Gloria was blamed for the theft - and Aunt Gloria is family. And I realised just how important it was to find the painting, and discover who really had taken it.
