In "Missing Links!", Veronica finds herself in the Bahamas, assisting Mr. Largo in his quest for sunken treasure—though the search has been less than fruitful. With her father threatening to cut funding and Joel and Emily facing job loss, Veronica steps in with a fresh idea to keep the expedition going. Dan Parent’s art brings the tropical adventure to life, while Jeff Shultz and Henry Scarpelli deliver the cover’s vibrant, sun-drenched scene.
