Monsters, ghosts and ghouls are fun when they’re make-belief, but when they crawl out of your imagination and into the real world, suddenly things become a little scary! This is the basis for the new book from authors/singers/actors Lesley Livingston and Jonathan Llyr.
HOW TO CURSE IN HIEROGLYPHICS tells the story of two 12-year-old cousins, Cheryl and Tweed, who live with their grandfather in Wiggins Cross- a tiny, isolated town perfect for the unraveling of a magical adventure!
The girls, inspired by their love of B-movies, pretend to be monster hunters and cast the townspeople as their creatures that go bump in the night. It isn’t until a creepy carnival comes to town that they come face-to-face with a real monster: an enchanted mummy that terrorizes Wiggins Cross. Cheryl and Tweed finally get the chance to live out their dreams… now hopefully all those movies have prepared them!
The book is the first in THE WIGGINS WEIRD series. Writer Lesley Livingston already has WONDROUS STRANGE, another fantasy series under her belt and first-timer Jonathan Llyr brings a fresh sense of the dramatic to the book. The illustrations are done by Stephen Burley and help bring this vibrant story to life.
Exciting, hilarious and just scary enough, HOW TO CURSE IN HIEROGLYPHICS is a must-read for anyone who loves magic, Ancient Egypt and adventure!
