The Magic of the Mummy

Beryl Brown and her boyfriend, Edward Soppit, want to spend a quiet evening together on the sofa, but they reckon without Beryl's younger sister, Cleopatra, who likes nothing better than being a pest. So instead they visit the pier where the sideshows prove disappointing, till they enter the Museum of Mystery. When the mummy, Great King Amon, is brought to life it is Cleo's name that finally averts disaster. A highly unlikely and not very convincing story, told in the first person by Cleo, which might appeal to some solo readers of around the heroine's age (8-ish) who are sufficiently able to suspend disbelief.
