Grade 4-7-Mildly skeptical general overviews of controversial topics. In Tutankhamen, descriptions of the strange circumstances surrounding the death of Lord Carnarvon and the tragic ends of at least six people closely or remotely connected with the discovery of the tomb build a fair case for the curse theory. Yet other possible causes, plus the fact that other principals lived long, healthy lives, make a curse seem doubtful. Nearly every book about this great archaeological find, including Nicholas Reeves's lavishly illustrated Into the Mummy's Tomb (Scholastic, 1993), alludes to "the mummy's curse," yet few offer as many alternate explanations as Landau. ESP begins with experiences of two women whose prophetic dreams and special abilities seem to confirm the existence of the elusive "psi" or "sixth sense.
