YOU HAVE TO STOP THIS

Cass, Max-Ernest, and Yo-Yoji continue their delightfully clever adventures. This time they're in a museum's Mummy Room when things go awry. The full-cast narration is splendid, with each narrator attempting to outdo the others. However, Cass is the standout, so believably presented by Cassandra Morris that listeners can almost see her. An added benefit is that Cass is an excellent role model for modern girls. There are several amusing comments about audiobooks as the story begins, and the audio format enhances the superior writing. The gang is accused of stealing a mummy and must solve the theft before the police are alerted. Cass has also been given an ancient treasure chest, and she's determined to learn its secret. An entertaining listening experience, this production also offers many fascinating details on Egyptian history in an easy-to-digest manner.
