 | The Mystery of the Mummy's Curse
The Greenfield Museum is holding a special exhibit about ancient Egypt, and the main attraction is a 4,000-year-old mummy. The Aldens are helping the museum curator set up the exhibit and learning about life in ancient Egypt. But ever since the mummy arrived, nothing has gone right for the museum or its workers. The longer the Aldens are around the mummy, the more things go wrong. As the children search for the cause of all the bad luck, everything points back to the spooky sarcophagus. Has the museum been struck by a curse from the ancient mummy?

 | Frog
Stephen Dixon enters a new phase of his work with this award-winning novel, in which he brings together a collection of short stories, novellas, letters, essays, poems, and two novels to depict the life of Howard Tetch, a teacher and family man. The chapters are arranged without regard to chronology, so Tetch's childhood, his marriage, anecdotes of his children's lives, his aging, and his death intermix, creating a mosaic of fantasies and memories. Episodes overlap as variations on the same story are presented, and the reader is often left to decipher the truth. Finalist for both the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award in 1991.
