A Million Junes
Also builds a mystery around uncanny magic and family secrets, but it's teen-aged, romance-driven and steeped in grief rather than a kids' riddle chase.
The Price of Love
Keeps the hidden-secrets-uncovered hook, but swaps a child's museum adventure for an adult historical romance with family obstacles and no magic.
A mansion by the Mersey
Another puzzle of buried family secrets to unravel, though slower and adult, set in 1930s Liverpool with romance instead of living exhibits.
Throwback
Another puzzle-driven adventure where a girl is yanked somewhere impossible, though aged up into teen romance rather than a kids' museum mystery.
