The Alden children were searching for a home–and found a life of adventure! Embark on an exciting journey with the Boxcar Children in this Step 2 leveled reader as they investigate the mystery of the mummy's curse! Perfect for early readers learning to read simple sentences.

The Aldens are helping a local museum set up an exhibit about ancient Egypt! But when someone has an accident and artifacts begin to dissappear, they can't help but wonder--could the museum's mysterious mummy be cursed? Adapted from Gertrude Chandler Warner's Mystery of the Mummy's Curse chapter book, this early reader allows children to start reading with a Boxcar Children classic.

Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories. For children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help.
Gertrude Chandler Warner grew up in Putnam, Connecticut. She wrote The Boxcar Children because she had always dreamed about what it would be like to live in a caboose or a freight car—just as the Aldens do. When readers asked for more adventures, Warner wrote more books—a total of nineteen in all. After her death, other authors have continued to write stories about Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny Alden, and today The Boxcar Children® series has more than one hundred books.
