5.0 out of 5 stars Mummies Don't Coach Softball, January 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mummies Don't Coach Softball (The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids, #21) (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved the book. The story was about a bunch of kids that thought their softball coach was a Mummy from ancient Egypt! Liza and her friends didn't know what to make of their clumsy coach who kept injuring and bandaging his 'whole' body. Liza told a story about the Mummy of Doom and the Curse of the Diamond. I couldn't wait to find out how the book would end... you won't either!

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible ending with a confusing plot to boot., May 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mummies Don't Coach Softball (The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids, #21) (Mass Market Paperback)

Our 8-year old son read this book to us for his book report. The plot was very confusing (to our son and us) and we're still scratching our head about the ending! It didn't tie up any loose ends or explain any of the books mysteries. Now our son has to write a book report on a book that we're not sure how to explain. Poorly, poorly written.

This review is from: Mummies Don't Coach Softball (Adventures of the Bailey School Kids) (School & Library Binding)

I like this book because I like mysteries. It is about a mummy coaching softball. The mummy is always getting hurt. That's why he's all wrapped up in bandages. I think that other kids would like this book too because it's funny.
