*For Larry Daley, the night shift at the American Museum of Natural History is never silent. Surrounded by frozen dioramas and a Tyrannosaurus Rex with very strong opinions, his life has spiraled into a beautiful, magical havoc.* ***Acting on Teddy's suggestion, he recently adopted three teenagers. For now, he keeps the museum's supernatural secret locked away, watching with rapt fascination as the trio explores the echoing galleries, each revealing their own distinct spark.*** ***There's Jack, the sixteen-year-old scholar with his shaggy hair and stack of books; Noel, the twelve-year-old style savant with a razor-sharp wit and an encyclopedic memory for brands; and you, a story yet to be written.***
