  Carter and Cooper Sullivan, identical twins with a talent for trouble, are convinced that their unassuming junior high, Bloomfield, hides a secret. Whispers circulate about a hidden basement and, more thrillingly, evidence of a mysterious sarcophagus. When they finally uncover the entrance—a locked door leading to a secret staircase—they enlist their adventurous friends, Brody and Kylie, to investigate. 
  To their surprise, their eccentric, retired Irish detective neighbor, Mr. Amos Murphy, catches wind of their plans and insists on joining their expedition with his old partner and friend, Tom Connor. 
  But uncovering the sarcophagus is just the beginning. What rests inside? Is it a genuine ancient artifact or an elaborate prank? And why is someone, or something, trying to keep them from uncovering the truth? 
  Bury yourself in this mystery as the final clue unravels the truth behind this odd missing mummy case. In this exhilarating tale, the twins and their friends must solve the enigma before danger wraps around them.

  Escape From Pluto

  Escape From Pluto by William Oberfield - Exiled to Pluto's harsh wastes, Marcius Kemble listened eagerly to the evil voices planning his triumphant return. But even the Plutonians underestimated the flaming glory to which they sent him. 
  Marcius Kemble stood upon the frozen surface of Pluto and swore aloud. He knew there were none to hear him but, just the same, he shouted into his plastic space helmet until his ears were ringing, cursing all the planets and their diverse inhabitants in order, most of all Earth. 
  You see, Marcius Kemble was an example. He was an example to any others, in the year of twenty-two hundred A.D., who would strive to rule the solar system. The planets were independent states and they were to remain that way. For trying to change this, Kemble had been exiled to unexplored Pluto. 
  Marcius raised his mailed fist toward the mighty stars and ground out curses against Earth and all those upon it, wishing that he could call upon it the wrath of Heaven and Hell, for it had been the men of Earth who had brought about his ultimate downfall. 
  It had been the age-old story of a power-mad tyrant finding out the secret grudges of his subjects and working on them to inspire a frenzy of hate, to maneuver them into a war against unsuspecting neighboring nations. He had gained control of the whole of Mars in this way and had been reaching out for the moon-system of Saturn, when the full force of the Planetary Combine had come against him, scattering his forces. 
  The counter offensive had been led by Earth, and it had been an Earth ship which, after his short-lived escape, had parachuted him to the cold surface of Pluto. Is it any wonder that he should hate them? 
  Marcius Kemble looked fearfully around at the bleak, frozen landscape of Pluto, a cold Hell, hardly reached by the light of the sun. Then he began to laugh.

  When he arrives on Celabar, Kevin realizes it’s been his destiny all along. He loves being a little bit bigger than the others and a hero to boot! But he must come up with a plan to get rid of a giant bird the Devastators are using to control their people and to gain control of the gold lying beneath Celabar. A plan with numbers. 
  (Special note to my readers: Of course, there is a Dachshund in the book.)
