A
deserted house, abandoned and empty for years, or is it? Jeff and Debbie
both feel creepy, when they look at the house on Hackman’s Hill
“Somebody in that house is watching us! And he doesn’t want us here!”
“Oh Forget it,” their Grandma said, “It’s just an old abandoned house.”
But Jeff can’t forget a $10, 000 reward for finding a mummy hidden in the
house. A mummy! The Egyptian government would never let a mummy out of
the country but evidently money talks and Dr. Hackman’s house was filled
with his extensive collection of Egyptian artifacts. But was his house
filled with the Pharaoh's curse too--the curse of death on anyone who disturbs
the pharaoh's tomb. Anubis is the Egyptian god who guards the tombs.
You know, the one with the human body and the head of a jackal. He’s
the one to watch out for. He makes sure that no one disturbs the
mummies in their final resting places. But that was all a long time ago,
besides Hackman has been missing for years. So what could be so dangerous
about poking around his house in the middle of the day? Grandma’s neighbor
Mr. Karsten says he even lived there when he was a boy. Maybe,
just maybe Jeff and Debbie can find the mummy. Find out what happens when
you read The House on Hackman’s Hill. (Stephanie Vail, MLIS) |
