This is an outstanding book for all ages,unless you get scared easily.This book could make you have to change your shorts.House on Hackmans Hill is also a suspense,horror,and mystery novel.It will keep you in your seat,far in your seat.I recommend you read this book because it will teach you not to mess with other peoples belongings,and not to intrude.

This book is a really good mystery/Horror.The begining of the story is were two little kids meet an olderly man that lives beside their grandparents.He tells them about a house that is haunted.He say's that he has lived there when he was little boy then he tells them about all of the haunting that took place there fitty years ago.Its about a collector that has a statue of Anubis and he takes the eye's out everyday.well that is a mistake.

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.

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!!!!!!!

okay. I hate scary stuff and it was hard to pick up this book at first. But it was like a scary movie that you cant stop watching. The only thing different is that I did not regret this one. Even though it is terrifying at some parts, it's pretty good. As a kid, I advise not to buy this book for a little kid. The horror elements are kind of creepy. The couple hours afterward were very alert to dark places. If you like old horror movies, you'll love this book!!!!!!!

This book is about when two cousins, Debbie and Jeff, find out about a old house that their grandparents house live next to. They go to the old house to ask the old owner some questions about the house. Mr.Karsten (the owner) tells them that the mummy is in the basement of the house. The mummy is worth $10,000 dollars. They pack their stuff and set out to the house. When they get inside they are trapped from a blizzard, but they are not the only ones in the house. First, they enter his library and find secret passage way. After they hear a howl of a Jackal, they find a statue of a Jackal head and a man's body. At the bottom is the word Anubis. They find the mummy and a man's body, but then a live size statue comes to life. They dodge him and run out of the house, leaving the mummy behind. The house catches on fire, but they find two Egyptian jewels and return home safely.

Do you like Egypt and Acient god's.If so, then this is the book for you.Jeff and Debbie have heard stories about Hackman's Hill when they were small.They go and hear the story from Mr. Karsten that lived there wene he was small. They go to the house on Hackman's Hill and find this uncommon room with lot's of Egyptian rares.They our trapped inside with the bad god Anubis, the Egyptian god of the dead. I liked the action, and suspense of the book. The best part is wene they think they locked the Egyptian god Anibus but he locks them in the basment and I was left hanging on to find out how they escape. "The Genre of this book is suspense and humor." I would strongly recommend this book to boy's and girls.

The House on Hackmans Hill is a great book. I would recommend this book to anyone! It's about two kids trying to find a lost mummy for a reward of $10,000. Thats a lot of money! A character in the story named Jeff is a smart adventurous kid who finds himself face to face with someone who I dare not say, Anubis. The Egyptian god of the dead. So pick up this book and start reading.

I am a 6th grade Soc. St. teacher, and I read this book aloud to my 5 classes during our study of Ancient Egypt. Almost every chapter ends with a "cliff-hanger", so my kids always wanted me to keep reading. I recommend this book to Middle School Ancient Civilizations teachers (as a read-aloud) or to middle-schoolers with an interest in Ancient Egypt or mystery stories!

House on Hackman's Hill is one of the best books I have ever read. My teacher read it to my class in school. It made me shiver and gasp. At the house on Hackman's Hill, you never know what surprises come next.
It all started as an innocent hunt for a contest. The prize:10 grand. The two innocent kids: Debbie and Jack. They were trying to find mummy that was worth quite a bundle. How were they to know that their own neighbor, Mr.Carlson, had actually lived there. Mr. Carlson told them the horrific story of what happened when he was just a boy living their. He told about the mummy's curse and the many secrets that house held.
After hearing that invigorating story, the two kids went over to the house to search for the mummy. They put aside the fact that even adults avoided the house. They packed sandwiches, a camera, and flashlights. After about 5 hours there, a storm came. They were trapped inside the terrible house...
This book kept me on the edge of my seat while my teacher was reading it to me. I loved every page of the book. There were no bad parts in the book at all. The author was brilliant to think of such an idea.
I would recommend this book for children 10-18. It is so scary it might frighten kids under the age of 10. Actually I recommend this book for ages 10 and up. Everyone would enjoy it. That is anyone who enjoys a good, old-fashioned ghost story.
