The Haunted Museum #3
The Pearl Earring
Don't touch anything in the Haunted Museum!
When Lily accidentally touches a painting at The Haunted Museum, she's pulled into a dangerous fight for her life!
The more she learns about the history of the portraits she'd been mesmerized by, the more she finds about the artist who painted them and the girls in the paintings. All the girls seem to have disappeared--but where? Tears on the portraits, dreams about the girls in the pictures - what could it mean? And what happens to Lily if her portrait is painted?

About the author
Suzanne Weyn
207 books647 followersSuzanne Weyn grew up in Williston Park, Long Island, New York. She has three sisters and a brother. As a girl, she was very interested in theatre and in reading. Louisa May Alcott was her favorite author, but she also read every Sherlock Holmes story. Suzanne lived pretty close to the ocean and going to Jones Beach was one of her favorite activities. Even today, if she goes too long without seeing the ocean, she starts feeling restless.
Suzanne now lives in upper New York State with her husband, two teen daughters and Abby the cat. Her house is at the edge of the woods and is nearly 200 years old. She graduated from State University of New York at Binghamton and received her master's degree from Pace University. She teaches part-time at City College in New York.
Suzanne's other books for Simon Pulse include South Beach Sizzle, a romantic comedy written with Diana Gonzalez. Her novels for the Simon Pulse line "Once Upon a Time" are The Night Dance: A Retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses, Water Song: A Retelling of the Frog Prince, and The Crimson Thread: A Retelling of Rumplestiltskin. She very much enjoys rethinking these classic tales from an original point of view, always looking for the real psychological underpinning of the story. Suzanne is currently doing revisions on her fourth book in the line, which will be coming in 2009.
Suzanne's other recent novels are include The Bar Code Tattoo (2004) and its sequel, The Bar Code Rebellion (2006). The Bar Code Tattoo was selected by the American Library Assoc. (ALA) as a 2005 Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers and was a 2007 Nevada Library nominee for Best Young Adult Fiction. It is currently translated into German and was nominated for the 2007 Jugenliteraturpreis for Young People's Literature.

So I read this book in 2 hours. It had to deal with cursed pearl earrings that were supposedly a gift from a demon to get a girl he wanted. The woman was Lucrezia Borgia and she was centuries old, would paint portraits of young girls but in actuality the earrings sucked the life force out of the girls and into Lucrezia. Hmm this sounds familiar, I'm pretty sure I've read or seen this somewhere before.
I have to say that the first 2 books in the series were the best. I bought these books for my kids to read for middle school but I decided to read the series and I'm glad I did, they are entertaining.

The haunted museum has found its next victim. This time it is a young girl, Lily, who has accidentally touched a portrait in one of the museum's collections. As in the other books, the portrait follows the girl home and the haunting begins.
I loved this book. It was almost as good as the first book in the series, although it wasn't as scary. The horror and suspense are very appropriate for the age group of this book, but I recommend it for older readers as well.

I really liked this book. It has been the best one out of the series so far for me. The art aspect of this book is what made me really like it and the haunting part of the book just elevated it more for me.

The Haunted Museum series is a great intro to mystery for younger ("tween") readers, with a fair amount of suspense among the humor and adventure brought to life in these stories.
