3rd

Again, how freaked out would you be if you realized you had someone else's hand?  Let me know who you think it is and what they are going to do. 

2nd

How freaked out would you be if all of the sudden you turned around and the person you were with was gone!  Where could she have gone? 

1st one

If I were them and I saw something strange like they did in her picture I would leave.  And they are even hearing the door close and things like that!  I mean seriously.  Isn't that a sign that you shouldn't be there?  What would you do?

I wish there were pictures.  I like how the author tries to show you the "looks" that Dr. Hackman is giving Paul (p.46; there is an example of what I am talking about).  All of these things to me make it seem as though he has something up his sleeve. 

So the end of chapter 6 is a little creepy.  Someone saying where are my eyes!  Is it the mummy or is it Dr. Hackman?  Maybe he is just trying to scare him was my first thought, but then I thought of the curse! 

I think that when he put the coin in the statue, it brought the mummy back to life!  It did something.  And then the mummy did something to Dr. Hackman! 

I wonder what will happen to the kids!  They are obviously going to try and go in the house and get the mummy for the reward.  I bet they find it and will find Dr. Hackman's body somewhere!

So it seems that Dr. Hackman has a mummy that he "smuggled" into the United States.  My background knowledge of mummies tells me that there could be a curse, something Dr. Hackman eluded to in his conversation with Paul.  I wonder if this curse had something to do with the person falling out of the window.  I also wonder why he even took Paul down in the basement to show him the mummy.  I would think he would want to keep it a secret.  I'm also wondering what the noises are he is hearing.  I would freak out! 

First 20 pages

I keep wondering why Dr. Hackman is so mean to the boy.  He doesn't even know him and treats him like he's a nobody.  There has to be a reason for his hatred.  He seems very selfish and only want to be famous. I wonder what it is.  I also wonder what Dr. Hackman's fascination with Egypt is.  I also wonder what the story is behind the person who fell out the window.  I wish that Paul's mother would listen to him more.  I know she cares about him and they are living with him because of the pay and stuff, but I would like to think that she cares more about her son than getting paid more.
