Joe Sherlock: Kid Detective, Case #000004 - The Headless Mummy

Joe Sherlock #4

by Dave Keane

Why would someone steal a 4,000-year-old mummy's head? Is this the work of shadowy grave robbers or some weird ancient curse? Could the missing noggin be stuck in Mr. Klopper's gigantic, crumb-filled beard? Will a flaming torch be enough to battle Joe Sherlock's fear of the dark?

The man knocking at the door of 221 Baker Street has lost his head and is out of his mind with worry! A major scandal is brewing at the museum, and only Joe Sherlock can save Mr. Klopper from certain ruin. In this hushed underworld of eerie tombs, pickled kings, and water-filled surgical gloves, Joe finds his creepiest, most wrinkled-up case ever.

About the author

After spending so much time reading books to my three kids, I decided I'd try my hand at children's books. It's been a blast. I've visited schools all over the country. I've talked to thousands of kids about writing, illustrating, and using your imagination. And I've received tons of incredible letters and emails from parents, kids and teachers from just about everywhere.

I am the author of the Joe Sherlock: Kid Detective series and the Monster School: I Can Read series. My picture books include Sloppy Joe, Bobby Bramble Loses His Brain and Daddy Adventure Day. Next year, Knopf/Random House is releasing my new picture book, Who Wants a Tortoise?, illustrated by K. G. Campbell. Stay up on it all at my Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/mrdavekeane

Dibandingkan dengan Sherlock, saya lebih suka Hailey adiknya. Hailey ingin jadi asisten Sherlock dan dianggap sebagai pengganggu dalam memecahkan kasus. Namun kenyataannya Hailey punya keluasan wawasan yang tak dimiliki Sherlock, praktis dalam melihat masalah dan sigap menyiapkan peralatan yang dibutuhkan. Hal ini terbukti lagi dalam serial keempat : Misteri Mumi Tanpa Kepala.
