missing art, ghosts, and a turtle

I enjoyed this read – complete with some nice pencil illustrations – that takes place in an art museum featuring two children, a ghost, and (of all things) a turtle. Rami goes along with his mom to the museum where she’s a cleaner. A painting of a girl goes missing and suddenly Rami is seeing a ghost of the girl in the building. He confides in Veda, who’s in his class, and the two of them set out to discover who stole the painting and why the ghost that both of them can see is there. Meanwhile out in the pond behind the museum, Agatha, the turtle, has seen what is going on and perhaps has even seen the thief.
