338I: Kids trapped in house, chased by a mummy and Anubis

I am looking for a children’s book I read between 1985-1988. Maybe a scholastic book. It had a dark yellow paper back cover. It was a mystery book. It was geared for the 3rd to 5th grade crowd.

It was about a boy and a girl (siblings maybe) that were trapped in a house.  There was a mummy and a statue of Anubis that came alive and chased them around the house. The whole book took place in one night

Please help me. I have been going crazy trying to remember!

    The House on Hackman’s Hill! Still scares me thirty years later! I recently read it to my nine year old. 🙂

    Definitely House on Hackman’s Hill by Joan Lowery Nixon. One of my favorites as a kid, and as a previous poster said….terrifying!

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I am 29 now and my mother donated my this book when I was 13, it crushed me. And as I got older I totally forgot the name of this book until I googled “kids book mystery Anubis” and it led me here.
