Description

Jimmy Sniffles and his class take a field trip to the museum where they encounter the Mummy of Amun-Set, which some believe is cursed. When artifacts begin disappearing from the museum, Jimmy uses his exceptional sense of smell to investigate the mystery. The story follows Jimmy as he tries to uncover whether the mummy legend is true or if someone else is behind the thefts.

Quick Summary

Jimmy Sniffles gets the sniffles at the worst possible time when his class visits the museum, but the real trouble starts when ancient artifacts begin vanishing and a supposedly cursed mummy seems to be the culprit. Kids will giggle at Jimmy's goofy sneezes while eagerly following the mystery of who or what is stealing the treasures. If your kid loves the goofy humor and easy-to-read action of the "Captain Underpants" books, they'll sniffle their way through this mummy mystery. This is a perfect pick for kindergarten through second graders who enjoy silly stories with just a hint of spooky fun.
