"What a wonderful story. It is a rare treat with pictures to match the exciting story.  This is about something that everyone just loves-Egyptology!  I felt as though I was part of the whole story and think of Michael as my friend.  A book for every one of us. I took it on vacation and read it with my grandson."  RD Larson  

In a haunted temple on the Nile, Michael Manley and Suzie Manley search for clues to an ancient treasure.

To find the fabulous gold of Egypt they must first confront the Mummy who guards it, and the spirit of the Pharaoh Seti who knows where it is hidden.

Rivit, whose great, great, great grandfrog was the Pharaoh's pet, forms an uneasy truce with Niles the Temple Cat. Together they help Michael and Suzie as they try to solve the secret of the Pharaoh.  

This entertaining mystery set in Egypt is lushly illustrated with 34 full color, leading-edge - computer graphics.

Hi, I'm Joan James. In 1989 we went to Egypt. While we were there we went to Abydos and saw the Mortuary Temple of Seti I. This temple is over 3000 years old and contains some of the most beautiful wall reliefs in Egypt.

There are many local legends about the temple, including tales of treasure and ghosts.

I couldn't resist using a fictional example of the temple in Michael Manley Meets a Mummy.

We wrote the tale as a classic children's adventure story, with some mystery, some magic, a few scary bits and the exotic setting of Egypt.

When we illustrated it, we used many of our own snapshots as backgrounds.

We loved producing the book, and hope you and your child will enjoy sharing it together.

You can read Michael Manley Meets a Mummy to young children over a couple of sessions. Older children can read the e-book themselves, at their own pace.
