Screaming Mummies of the Pharoah's Tomb II: Volume 4 Hardcover - 2003

by James Howe; Brett Helquist (Illustrator)

When one of his books receives a bad review, Howie Munroe is undaunted--he'll win the coveted Newbony Award or die trying. Enlisting the help of his friend Delilah, Howie embarks upon his first collaboration. But he finds working with Delilah is a nightmare. Will either of them stop fighting long enough to finish their book? Illustrations.


Summary

Dear possible reader of this book,
I wasn't sure I'd be able to write a book ever again after Canine Quarterly reviewed my series, Tales from the House of Bunnicula. They said I would never win the Newbony Award. Was I depressed! And I didn't even know what a Newbony was! Luckily Delilah's read a lot of Newbony books, so she helped me write this one. It's about a poor (but very cute) orphan dachshund puppy named Howie Monroe, who lives on the prairie and yearns for a chicken bone. (I know. Trust me.) Things really get exciting when Howie and his best friend, the smart and well-read Delilah, find a time machine and travel back to ancient Egypt where they uncover...the mystery of the Pharaoh's tomb!!!
Uncle Harold (who wrote a bunch of books about our friend Bunnicula) says he thinks Delilah and I learned a lot about working together. I'm just glad we're still speaking to each other, and I hope you like the story.
Your friend,
Howie
