With a brand-new Three Investigators series finally launched into the world, it's a great time to also revisit the classic books. The new series, conceived and co-written by Elizabeth Arthur, Robert Arthur's daughter, brings Jupiter, Pete, and Bob into the 21st century. It offers fresh adventures that resonate with today's readers while preserving the timeless spirit of the original tales, but for old fans who fell in love with the series many years ago, this anniversary edition is also a must.
In The Mystery of the Whispering Mummy, Jupiter, Pete, and Bob encounter Ra-Orkon, the mummy of an Egyptian prince dead for three thousand years. But sometimes the dead don't rest easily, and an Abyssinian cat named Sphinx suggests that more is at stake than at first appears.
As it turns out, Ra-Orkon has things to say, and the Three Investigators, along with their new friend Hamid - the son of a Libyan rug merchant - have to answer some puzzling questions, posed by the notable archaeologist Professor Yarborough. How can a mummy speak? What is he trying to say? And can the boys discover his secret before they and others fall victim to the mummy's ghastly curse?
By turns spooky, bewildering, and thrilling, the third book in Robert Arthur's classic mystery series promises to please not only the existing fan base of The Three Investigators series but a whole new generation of readers who will find in its pages three very different boys whose imagination, courage, and intelligence can remind us that curiosity, perseverance, and rational inquiry are just as vital as friendship and cooperation.
After all, the motto of The Three Investigators is "We Investigate Anything," and their trademark is " " - three question marks, taken together. Celebrating the 60th anniversary of The Three Investigators series, this new edition of the Robert Arthur novels includes all ten titles, with end notes written by Elizabeth Arthur and Steven Bauer.
Continue the adventure with the contemporary Three Investigators series, crafted for a slightly older audience. The new series spans twenty-six books, from The Mystery of the Abecedarian Academy to The Mystery of the Zoroastrian Zodiac. Explore the full reboot at https: //www.amazon.com/dp/B0DTW2NT8F
