Description

During a school trip to the museum, thirteen-year-old Tess wakes up an Egyptian mummy.

Cursed by a necromancer, Prince Seth has been inside a sarcophagus for two thousand years. Now, he has no intention of going back into his tomb. He wants a normal life, friends, and fresh food. So he follows Tess home, bandages and all.

Ancient Egyptian mummies bring bad luck. Since Seth's arrival, a car has almost run Tess over, and a lamppost nearly squashed her. With Tess's soccer team, the Wolverines, qualified for the New Zealand Junior Soccer Championship, this curse could destroy its chances of winning. Even worse, evil Egyptian spirits chase her and Seth to take their souls into the world of the dead.

Unless they find the two-thousand-year old necromancer, who controls the spirits and who gained eternal youth by cursing Seth, Tess and Seth will be doomed forever.
