I like how this book offers good real-world and relatable examples to better describe what the author is trying to talk about. Makes this book easier to understand and relate to.

""Jeff grabbed the trap door, pulling it after him as he dropped through. he slammed the iron bar through the rings, locking it in place." (120)."

Jeff and Debbie are interested in finding a mummy in a haunted house for a cash reward. They find the mummy in the basement, but the only way out is locked behind them.

The conflict is that the brother and sister are stuck in the house with the mummy.

setting- 21st century in a haunted house
fav scene- Jeff and Debbie find the mummy's eyes (pg 104). this is my favorite part because there is a money reward for finding it, so all their hard work is going to pay off.

The main character: Jeff Karsten; wants to find the money hidden in Hackman's house (74).
supporting character: Doctor Hackman; doesn't want Jeff and Debbie to leave the house (85).

The mood in this book is currently foolish and crazy.

I like this part because the mom finally realizes suspicious things are happening in the house.

Person vs. Supernatural is my book's main conflict type because it involves a boy trying to survive in the same house as a haunted mummy.

Person vs Person

The big idea here is Mr. Karsten telling the kids his side of the history of the hackman's house.

The big idea here is a haunted house that two kids are curious about.

I picture Quan not knowing what to do when he is officially out of jail.

I picture Justyce getting more than he asked for with his request to Martel. (216-19)

In the next part, I think that Justyce will get Quan out of jail with martells help.

"The rest comes pouring out of mama like hot coffee gulped down too fast, scalding her mouth on the way out, searing a path into the table." (Stone 199)

"They left me alone again. Then back to the holding cell I went" (Stone 182).

"`So what do we do?`" (Stone 152).

"That's when Quan noticed the gun in his hand.Dropped it. Then allowed himself to be pulled into a run." (Stone 126).

There isn't really a specific antagonist person, its more of just the police/cops in general.

Protagonist- Laquan Banks Jr.
