A Problematic Paradox
Author: Elliot Sappingfield
Publisher: Scholastic
ISBN: 9781524738457
Why Read?: For Fun
Thoughts: Kind of a sci-fi Harry Potter, that I am pretty sure is the first in a series. A lot of unanswered questions at the end, so I really hope so.
Rating: 3/5

The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb
Author: R. L. Stein
Publisher: Scholastic
ISBN: 9781610676229
Why Read?: For Fun
Thoughts: Most of the thrill in this was from a human monster rather than a supernatural one, which made it a little different. However, I cannot believe that an archaeologist would say "mummy case" instead of "sarcophagus", a word that many middle schoolers should have come across at some point in history.
