.

This is a short, easy book with large, simple print and some nice drawings. It is about an old Egyptian Pharaoh who comes to life because of a curse. He faints outside and ice-cream van and its driver, Tony Lightspeed, takes him home with him to recover. Meanwhile two scientist guys are chasing the mummy to get a treasure map from him.

The Mummy turns out to be very rude and bossy to the family and it is funny when he finds new things that have been invented like computer games.

On the whole it is a fun book and very easy to read. I would recommend it for Primary kids who are able to read simple novels on their own.
