Dummie the Mummy

Shy eleven year old Gus' 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.

When Dummie, the little living mummy, realizes he will never grow up to become a real Pharaoh, he decides to become as famous as his father; the great Pharaoh, 4000 years ago. His best friend Gus and his dad are keen to help. Together they will think of something to make Dummie famous. When they hear of an ancient statuette that can make Dummie a human being again, Gus can finally stop worrying. If they can find this Sphinx of Shakaba before Dummie becomes famous, no one will ever find out he's a living mummy. Will Gus be able to find the Sphinx, which has been lost at sea for over 50 years and help his best friend?

When arriving in Egypt to look for his fathers tomb Dummie realises everything has changed in his home country. This makes his quest through the desert by the pyramids very complicated. Dummie almost gives up but with the help of Gus and Klaas he succeds in finding his parents tomb and is able to say farewell.
