This is so up my alley, I am fascinated by ancient egypt. I loved getting out of the neighbourhoods like in previous books and going on a holiday! The main character Gabe said the word "outstanding" way too many times for a 12 year old boy and it annoyed me

Heh... I remember being terrified of mummies for a while after reading this when I was younger!

A quick and lighthearted weekend read. I didn't remember anything about the story, and I kept going back and forth in my mind trying to recall whether R.L. Stine typically has satisfying endings or if he tends to leave the reader with a terrified protagonist in the end. I found my answer, but the story kept me guessing to the very last page. A suspenseful thriller for preteens with relatable characters. I can see why 9-year-old me loved it.

This was a cute one. Two cousins who are always competing with one another in their knowledge of history, get to go on an excavation site with their father/uncle. While there, it turns out there is a legendary curse they have to be aware of. Of course this had a little Indiana Jones vibe to it. I like how they "wrapped" things up.

Meh. Not my favorite. It wasn't that scary, and the main characters are super annoying.

It had potential of being great, but in the end fell flat for me. I fear the very first Goosebumps - Welcome to Dead House - is where things peaked for me personally. The writing has really gone downhill from that one. Also, Gabe is incredibly annoying from page one and I was rolling my eyes the whole time. I legit, half way through this book, just stopped reading and only skimmed pages to get the gist of what was going on in the story. Very easy to do, given how much actions and dialog gets repeated.

I’m trying to read a bunch of these from my collection this week to start the season of spooky reading.
I’d probably give this one 1/5
