The magic of friendship can break even the strongest curse…
Shy eleven-year-old Gus's life is changed irrevocably when he finds an Egyptian mummy in his bed. An actual mummy of an actual young Egyptian prince, brought to life by a lightning bolt that struck his enchanted golden scarab, just as he was being transported to a nearby museum. Darwishi Uratum Msamaki Minkab Ishaq Eboni, or Dummie for short, is almost the exact opposite of Gus: an unrestrained daredevil who knows no fear or pain and is up for anything. An unlikely friendship is born.
