What clue connects a howling jackal, a vanishing mummy, and a big stone covered in hieroglyphics? Kid detective Zet is determined to find out.
Zet has solved enough mysteries to know when something doesn't add up, and this case is full of clues that don't fit. A mummy that always disappears before anyone can catch it. A strange sandbank that wasn't there before. A hieroglyph-covered stone where it shouldn't be. So when the local police overlook the pieces that don't fit, Zet does what he does best: he keeps asking questions, follows the trail, and pulls his sister Kat into the case with him.
The trail winds through busy streets, across the Nile to a dusty graveyard, and into the secretive world of royal mummification, where even Pharaoh's daughter may know more than she's saying. Rumors twist. Suspects dodge questions. Every strange piece points somewhere new. To unravel the mummy mystery, Zet and Kat will have to follow the clues, untangle the secrets, and figure out what's really hiding behind the curse.
Fast, funny, and packed with cliffhangers, Mystery of the Egyptian Mummy is a kid-powered mystery adventure set in ancient Egypt, for readers who like mummy curses, fishy suspects, and clues that don't fit until the final pieces click into place.
Trusted by teachers and loved by young readers, this award-winning adventure series keeps the fun first while giving families and classrooms plenty to build on. Short chapters, an age-friendly pace, and a free study guide make it an easy pick for ages 9-12.
