A clever young man and an eccentric professor search for a missing
fortune, in this spooky adventure full of "marvelous surprises"
(Publishers Weekly) H. Bagwell Glomus built an empire out of
cereal. In the 1920s, his Oaty Crisps were the most popular
breakfast in the United States, and Mr. Glomus was the wealthiest
man in the little town of Gildersleeve, Massachusetts. But he was
not a happy man. In 1936, he took his own life and his will was
never found. Legend has it that his last will and testament is
hidden somewhere in his office, but so far, no one has been able to
find it and claim the $10,000 reward. Yet, no one has looked as
hard as Johnny Dixon. A precocious young boy who's happier reading
old books than playing outside, Johnny has a best friend in the
eccentric old Professor Childermass, who knows every detail of Mr.
Glomus's story-except the location of the will. Together, along
with a new pal from Boy Scout camp named Fergie, they intend to
crack the puzzle-but before they can claim their prize, they must
defeat an ancient evil force: a living mummy intent on destroying
them. From the award-winning author of The House with a Clock in
Its Walls, the Johnny Dixon stories are a refreshingly
old-fashioned series of adventure and supernatural mystery. In the
world of young adult suspense, few authors have the magic touch of
John Bellairs.
