Terrific book!

...The Vandemark Mummy was filled with action, mystery, and suspense, making this work of fiction a great summer book. Phineas and Althea’s father is offered a job at a college in Maine. He accepts, and Phineas and Althea have a tough time getting used to the state, the town, and the new people. The college at which their father now works has a collection of Egyptian artifacts, including a mummy. Someone attempts to steal it, shocking everybody. Then it happens again; this time, however, the robbers are successful. Can Phineas and Althea solve the crime, or will the mummy remain permanently off display?

Entertaining

The Vandemark Mummy was a very good book. When the Professsor gets a collection with a mummy in it, his two kids, Althea and Phineas, suspect that the mummy may be fixing to endanger their lives. After Althea disappeared after the mummy had been found after being stolen, Phineas knew exactly where to find her. This book keeps you reading it because it is so good.
