Review:

Caroline Cooney has managed to weave a fascinating tale of suspense in her outstanding book, Mummy. A beautiful Egyptian mummy has disappeared from the museum. No one suspects that Emlyn, the girl who never gets in trouble, is the thief.

Emlyn is a good girl with a bad streak. She yearns to be a brilliant thief and commit the perfect crime. She keeps a library in her head of "wrong things to do, and how to do them." She makes mental notes of places to stash loot, of situations crying out for blackmail, or trust where there should be locks.

When her friends suggest stealing the Egyptian mummy from the museum and hoisting it up to the old high school's bell tower, Emlyn is ready. A crime such as this is what she's been waiting for all of her life. As Jack says, "Our senior class has to pull off a really exceptional trick for Mischief Night."

However, the director of the museum, Dr. Harris Brisband, is accused of the theft. Moreover, it turns out that greed is motivating her friends as much as the people on the museum board. Emlyn loves and respects the mummy, Princess Amaral-Re. She cannot bear to see it sawed up and the gold adorning its body taken.

Will Emlyn do the right thing? What exactly is the right thing to do? Emlyn thinks of a creative and unusual solution to her problem of what to do with the mummy and hopes it will work.

Summary: Ok, not Cooney's Best
Review: First of all, I'd like to say, the plot is pretty lame. This book is a little suspenceful at times but it lacks alot. I am not saying it's bad, I'm just saying it wasn't that interesting in my opinion.

Emlyn is a straight A student that is yearning to do something bad...( which makes me wonder.) When her teacher plans a trip to a museum, the class makes a plan to steal a mummy from the museum. Emlyn is up to it, and wants to prove to herself that she can do it. But will she? Will the "good girl" side of her kick in? I recomend this book only to Cooney fans only because they might like her style of writing.

Caroline B. Cooney is a great author, no doubt, but I found this one of her weaker books. If you are looking for great books by this author, I recomend "Wanted!" "Flight #116 is Down!" "The Terrorist" and "Hush Little Baby.." These are all great books by this outstanding author.

Summary: The best!
Review: i think this is one of cooney's best yet. it's full of suspense, and not romance. that suits me well. and as for the characters, they come alive. you start reading it, and you won't stop.
i suggest anybody who is ready for something a bit more than murder, romance, and a ready-made happy endíng read this!

Review: I thought this was an extremely well written book. Ms. Cooney's books are my favorite, and "The Mummy", a more recent book of hers, shows a great deal of detail. Thus, it makes the book more suspensful. Now, a lot of people don't like this book, and I must admit, it is a little boring at the beginning. But it's so good. You get an awesome picture in your mind from all the details and it is just exceptional work for Caroline B. Cooney.

Summary: To Steal or Not to Steal
Review: If you love suspense and suprises, this book is for you. The title of this book is Mummy. The author is Caroline B. Cooney. The main character is Emlyn. This book is about Emlyn, who is dared to pull off a prank on Mischeif Night. Finally, it's her chance to do what she wants. Then, everything falls apart. I think this book should be recommended for a book to read over the summer for grades 6,7,and 8. I really got into this book. I was wondering what she would do each chapter and focusing on what the character is going through. I give this book 4 stars because every chapter is full of life and suspense. My favorite part was when Emlyn was trying to steal the mummy of Amarel-Re. She succesively sneaks past cameras, security guards, and her parents to make the steal possible. My favorite character was Emlyn because she has been wanting to do something bad for a long time and finally considers it. She is smart and is having second thoughts.She may be sly, but she is smart.

Summary: Mummy - Caroline b. Coony
Review: In my opinion, this book was slow, but later got exciting. I also think that the book could have been more scary and suspenseful, with more action taking place. To me this book was not an enjoyable read. I would not recommend this book to others. A good thing about this book is that it was realistic, and I like books with realism.

Summary: <!.THis BoOK IS GooD.!>
Review: Overall, this book is good. It was suspenseful, at a couple of places. That's the only really bad thing about the book. The part when Emlyn steals the mummy, and the part when the other kids are about to break open the mummy, are the only parts that keep you from putting down the book. Everything else is really just talking, and you wouldn't mind stopping for a while. Even so, I enjoyed the book. I reccomend it to someone who needs something to do.

Summary: Mummy by Caroline B. Cooney
Review: The book Mummy by Caroline B. Cooney was exciting but it took a while to get to the important parts of the book. In my opinion this book could have been better written and had more suspenese and excitment. Every year the seniors pull a Halloween prank. This year Emlyn and her friends want to be original. They don't want to repeat something stupid such as putting the pricnsipals desk on the roof and letting the papers be blown free. They want this to be original, something that they thought of something that no-one else would think of doing. Emlyn , Donovaan , Maris and two other people thought that they should steal a mummy from the museum. Emlyn thought that this was a great idea but she had never done anything "bad" so she was doubtfull on pulling off this prank with her friends. Will Emlyn complete the prank with her friends? Will the prank be succesful?
