Customer Reviews

Childhood Favorite!

I read all of thes books in this series when I was a child (well over 20 years ago!) with the exception of this one. I don't know how I overlooked it, as Richard Peck was one of my favorite authors. When I ordered this book, I reread the entire series and they were as good as I remembered! Actually they were even better since I now had this story to go with it! A great book in the continuing story of Blossom Culp and one I intend to share with my kids. It has definetly stood the test of time!

Mummy Doom

This book starts when a new teacher comes and then this girl named Letty calls a meeting to get rid of her. In the middle of using a device used to call the spirits, Blossom calls a goddess. The goddess gives her a challenge to get her goods back to her or else she will be cursed. Can she survive this quest or will she be cursed. Find it out in this exciting book of mysteries. I recommend this book because it is very exciting and it refreshes you in the morning when your going to school because it will make you think and concentrate which will refresh you.

Richard Peck Rocks

I read all of Richard Peck's books as a child and young adult, and am now getting my daughter started on them. Blossom Culp was always one of the most entertaining heroines I knew. Her world, brought to life by one of my favorite authors, was so foreign to me, and I loved and cherished every bit of her stories, as I did all of Mr. Peck's books.

Richard Peck highly recommended!

Although this may not be the best of Peck's Blossom Culp books, it is still great reading. The unlikely heroine, Blossom, has an engaging narrative style. A great book for adults as well as kids!

I put it off for a couple of years . . . BIG mistake!

I got Blossom Culp and the Sleep of Death two years ago and I started reading it FOR THE FIRST TIME recently. I thought this book was realy cool because there is the overall plot, which is trying to find all of the princess' belongings, and other plots along the way. I REALLY should have read this two years ago.
