Candace Fleming, expert at propelling readers, finds a naturally compelling narrative in this middle grade nonfiction, THE CURSE OF THE MUMMY: UNCOVERING TUTANKHAMUN’S TOMB. Interspersed are small bits which describe ill fates that befall those who hunted for the Egyptian boy pharaoh’s tomb centuries after his death but the frustrations and breakthroughs that occur are just as exciting. Fleming manages to give readers a sense of the endless trials so that once the tomb is discovered, one shares in the thrill. Pictures throughout also aid reader’s sense of being there.
