ABOUT THE BOOK

Four friends scramble to unmask the mummy that's haunting their ancient town of Thebes.

When 12-year-old Zet comes face-to-face with a mummy, his eyes practically pop out of his head. Why is a mummy haunting his front door? Zet joins forces with his 11-year-old sister Kat and best friend Hui. They need to unwind this mystery fast because there’s a zany rumor that they're cursed. If they fail, their world might just come unraveled! Clues send them tiptoeing through ancient Egypt's hotspots—into hieroglyphics-covered tombs and paddling up and down the Nile on a wild mummy chase. They soon suspect this will be their spookiest mystery ever!
