The Moffat Museum1 review
Eleanor Estes

Odyssey Classics, 2001

The moffat museum

the moffat museum is not as good as the first 3 but is still good. It's funny but sylvie is gone halfway through. But that leads to some great stories. It only follows jane and rufus though. Joey and sylvie's views are never shown. but i like the stories so it's worth 4 stars.
