The Magnificent Mummy Maker
tamara avatar reviewed on + 78 more book reviews


10 year old Andy has never done anything magnificent. At least he's never done anything as magnificent as his stepbrother, "Mr Gifted," who has been showing him up in every way since he moved in with Andy and his dad four years ago.
But things change for Andy after an odd encounter with an ancient mummy on a class trip to the museum. Suddenly he finds he can paint like a great artist, he can solve math problems, and even his handwriting becomes neater. Most amazing - everything he wishes for seems to come true. Andy is convinced it is because of the Mummy. And in testing the limits of his new magnificent powers, he realizes, too late, that his finest wish could have some terrifying consequences.
