Screaming Mummies of the Pharaoh's Tomb II

96 pp. | Atheneum | January, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-689-83953-7 $$9.95
(4) 1-3 Tales from the House of Bunnicula series. Illustrated by Brett Helquist. Dachshund Howie, an aspiring writer, attempts to write a mystery story and a horror novel--each interrupted by excerpts from "Howie's Writing Journal," which describes the difficulties he encounters as an author. Young readers probably won't understand that these slight volumes are satirizing the hardboiled detective genre and the Goosebumps series, but they may appreciate the overall humor of the prose and illustrations. [Review covers these Tales from the House of Bunnicula titles: Bud Barkin, Private Eye and Screaming Mummies of the Pharaoh's Tomb II.]
Reviewer: Peter D. Sieruta
