The Shrunken Head

(3) 4-6 Curiosity House series. Illustrated by Benjamin Lacombe. In Head, the four exceptional children of Dumfrey's Dime Museum of Freaks, Oddities, and Wonders find themselves in very real danger when a cursed shrunken head is stolen. In Statue, friends start turning up dead and the children fear the return of evil Professor Rattigan (from their first adventure). Set in Depression-era NYC, these are quaint mysteries with a quirky Miss Peregrine's–like edge. Review covers these Curiosity House titles: The Screaming Statue and The Shrunken Head.
