3. 7-word summery: mummy box heart life book Egyptian dead
4. (a):"Kadeesh mal!" She shouted. "Kadeesh mal! Pareed oos! PAREED OOS!" Imhotep turned. He was afraid. How did she know these words? They were the end for him. The god Anubis came into the room. He walked through Imhotep and left again. Imhotep was now a man. O'connell took the sword and pushed it through Imhotep, and Imhotep, the man, died. /The passage when Evelyn read the gold book which was written in Egyptian and can kill Imhotep and he died.
(b):I like this passage because it was happy ending. I expected this happy ending, so I was very happy when I read this passage. Moreover I like Evelyn because she knows everything about Pharaohs, can read Egyptian and is clever and a key person who can help them. I like this passage which my favorite character, Evelyn, was active in.
5. I know this story, because I already have watched the movie. However, the book is different from the movie. Of course, it's same content, but I felt another feeling for the book. I felt I became one of the characters in this story. Therefore I enjoyed reading this book.

4. (a)You'll die in the end. "Yes", said Beni.
(b)I don't like this passage because I felt sad when I read this. Beni was one of precious friends.
5. This story is kind of a adventure and mystery and it is in Egypt many times ago. I thought Imhotep has a good personality at first, but he was changed by curse. I felt sorry for him. My favorite part of this story is that Evelyn met to O'Connell because I think this story is getting interesting from this part.

This book was a far cry from the movie, which I adore.
When I requested this book from the library, I'd been under the impression that it was a novelization of the book, instead of a kid's version of it.
It was almost painful to read it was so dumbed down.
