Summary: Amy's View: The Mummy, the Will & the Crypt
Review: I liked this book very much because I like reading mysteries. What made it good? First, it kept my interest because it was very exciting. I was very eager to know what happened next. I liked learning about the characters. Their lives were very exciting. Finally, the last 3 chapters were very freaky! Johnny, the main character, was sneaking into the Glomus mansion and he kept hearing weird noises. I would recommend this book to any kids over 7 years of age.

Summary: What a story!!!!!!
Review: I loved this entire series when I was a kid and read them all repeatedly. There is no question that the author is talented... the plots are facinating and the characters are vivid and sympathetic. This series is sure to catch the imagination of any child that is interested in mystery or the supernatural.One caveat, however: these books are pretty dark. There's a lot of evil and anger portrayed, and I'm not sure if that's the sort of thing a child should be dwelling on. The protagonists are healthy role models and their intentions are good, but the book paints a pretty dark and scary picture of the rest of the world.

Summary: Too convincing for an impressionable kid
Review: I read this book when I was about 9 years old and I am still scarred ten years later. It isn't a bad book - it's extremely convincing and well plotted. Just be wary of buying books from this series for the wrong child, because they're very vivid and certainly frightened me.

Summary: Wonderful Book
Review: I read this book when I was in third grade. Here I am, about to go to law school, and I still remember the details. The story keeps you hanging on the whole length of the book. I would recommend this book for anyone who loves a good mystery, loves to be held in suspense, and who can handle staying up late, because you won't want to put it down.

Summary: Excellent
Review: It was a really good idea of the author's to introduce the character of Fergie. He adds a lot of humor to the series. I also like all the strange little facts that Fergie knows.

Summary: Couldn't put it down!
Review: This book is an adventure in your seat. It is about a boy named Johnny Dixon and an old school teacher across the street. He goes in search of a lost will, and this adventure is only the beginning. He runs away from home with all of the life savings of the family, expecting to get a reward for the lost will. Johnny's grandma is sick and needs money for the operation! What "will" they do!? I rated this book a ten because there is a lot of mystery and adventure. There are no dull parts in this book. You just can't put it down! There are many other books by this wonderful author such as: "The Letter, the Witch, And the Ring","Spell of the Sorcerer's Skull" and many more! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mystery and adventure.

Summary: A true mystery that can be enjoyed by all ages...
Review: This is an excellent book for all ages. It is a great mystery! The story captures your attention right from the beginning. It's incredibly easy to fall in love with the characters as soon as you open the book. A lot of children who read this book might be able to relate with Johnny Dixon (the main character in the book). Some kids have trouble making friends and Johnny is a boy who feels like an outcast. He never really fits in anywhere. He does, however, befriend an old professor who helps him with his many trials and tribulations through out the story. Johnny gets himself wrapped up in what everyone believes is a story and in the end he proves everyone wrong. He unravels a difficult suicide case and runs into a few ghosts along the way. In this story the boy conquers many fears and makes his close friends and family very proud. He is the hero of the story. Aside from all of Johnny's self-discoveries there is a really great mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat just waiting to turn the page. I read this book in third grade, but I would really recommend this to anyone. Again, it's an amazing book. I urge you to read it!

Summary: O.K Suspense but a Little Mystery
Review: When I first read this book I recommended it for 3rd graders . It almost gave out what was going to happen next ,but still it was o.k for a 6th grader . I think 5th and 4th graders would find this book mysterious. In the book it was about a boy named Jonny that tries to find a will , if this boy finds it he will recieve $ 10,000 , but it won't be easy for Jonny.
