On one night Mr. Hackman dissapears and the mummy comes to life.Throught the entire book he just want's his eye's back.Fitty years later debbie and jeff want's to figure out this unsolved mystery.well as they arrive a big storm hits and they are stranned at this creepy house.During the book they find secert passage ways, and soon enought they found Anubis.The only thing it say's over and over give me my eye's.AT the end it tells you what happened to Mr.Hackmon,and tells you if they made it or not.So if you like creepy/horror/murder than I hightly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, December 31, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The House On Hackman's Hill (Paperback)

Okay, listen up!!!!!
This is by-far the best book ever!!!!!!!!!!! It is pure on-your-seat action/mysterious book!!!!!! It is about these two kids that visit their grandma and grandpa. There is this big mansion in that neighborhood. There was a mysterious legend that a man dissapeared!!!! Along with his mummy!!!!!! THen, the two kids went to another place in the neighborhood. An old man lived there. He had once had to stay at the manor. So, when the kids get there, they ask the man for info. Then, in the book, there are alot of flashbacks. But they are not confusing. The flashbacks tell how it was to have to live with the mad man. Then, the man dissapears and everyone flees the manor. I don't want to give away too much info, but let's just say that the kids go into the forbidden manor for a closer look.
NOW GO READ THE BOOOOOOOOKKKKKK!!!!!!!
