BOOK PREVIEW

Excerpt

"Cool!" you exclaim to your best friends, Liz and Jake. "The field trip to the Wicked Wax Museum is today. I can't believe our class gets to see it the day before the grand opening."

"Finally, Mr. Dunning's History class won't be such a bore," Jake adds, flipping his black baseball cap around backward. "Mr. Dunning. More like Mr. Dull!"

"You said it," Liz giggles. Her red curls bounce when she laughs. "Hey, why is it called the Wicked Wax Museum, anyway?"

"That's the name of the guy who owns it," Jake explains. "Dr. Izzy Wicked. He made all the wax figures."

"Well, according to Mr. Dull," Liz adds, "the museum is supposed to bring history to life for us, or something like that."

"Yeah, right." Jake smirks. "And maybe the wax figures will come to life, too."

"Oh, gross!" Liz cries. "You're giving me the creeps, Jake."

"Come on, you two," you say. "The bus is here. Let's be first in line so we can grab the backseats."
