The country is gripped with Mona Lisa Fever! The Royal Family
has announced a huge reward for the return of a missing version of
the Mona Lisa, stolen from their palace over 200 years
ago.

But in the town of Colpepper, Mia has a different art problem:
she loves art, but her underfunded school is closing down the art
department! But there's more to her school than meets the eye.
Little-known local legend has it that the historic building contains
a hidden vault, perhaps containing the Lost
Mona Lisa! So Mia has no idea that scheming criminals
are hiding among the school staff.

Meanwhile, Mia's former-best-friend Jake has endless conspiracy
theories that always seem to get Mia in trouble. His latest ones
are about the headmaster being a lizard person,
and that maybe Mia's parents are The Fish, a renowned art
thief who has never been caught.

True, Mia's parents are acting strangely, taking evening courses
in acrobatics and dressing in tight, black jumpsuits. And lately
there have been a lot of weekend trips to art galleries all over
the country... bah! But that's ridiculous!
