My Son's Favorite Series

I recently came across this book when cleaning out a shelf at home. My son is now a teenager, but this series was his favorite when he was a young child. This particular book, along with "I'm Out of My Body - Please Leave a Message" were his favorites. So much so that I kept them to give to his kids. I can't tell you how many times we've read these two, but it has to be somewhere near 30 times each. They grow so fast, but I have many memories of us curling up on the couch with our Zack Files.

A memorable museum visit with Zack

"Trapped in the Museum of Unnatural History," by Dan Greenburg, is number 25 in the "Zack Files" series for young readers. The book is illustrated by Jack E. Davis. In this installment, New York City schoolboy Zack becomes trapped in the Rosencrantz Museum of Natural History while on a school trip.In the book's first paragraph Zack wonders, "And when the museum closes and the lights go out, do strange things happen?" Well, he finds out the answer to that question--an answer which is in keeping with the overall paranormal theme of the series. I found this mix of horror and humor to be a highly entertaining installment in the series. The suspenseful tale is well enhanced by Davis' whimsical drawings.
