Astrid and Apollo get spooked during a science exhibit that takes a
surprising turn! Eight-year-old Hmong American twins Astrid and Apollo
are looking forward to the traveling museum, where replicas of
dinosaurs, mummies, and prehistoric creatures will be on display. But
Astrid is NOT looking forward to seeing the mummies, especially after
she and Apollo watch a scary movie in which mummies come back to life!
Apollo and their friend Kiran try to convince Astrid to conquer her fear
of "things that can't happen." But then at the traveling exhibit, all
three kids get a scary surprise--and Astrid's new courage is put to the
test! Showcasing a warm sibling relationship of a Hmong American family,
as well as themes of exploration and tradition, Astrid and Apollo will
delight young readers.
