The Mummy Snatcher Curse - Hardcover

by Tiffany McDaniel (Author)

Spella the young witch must save her friends from a dangerous mummy snatcher in this second "clever, magical romp" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) in the whimsical Wand Keepers middle grade fantasy series perfect for younger fans of Witchlings and Eva Evergreen.

After Spella and her friends successfully rescued her magical hat-making aunt from the dangerous Dragon King, Spella is back! This time, she is off to relax and have some fun with her aunt and best friend, Tolden, in the vibrant and colorful Mummy City. But all is not as calm and weirdly wonderful as it seems in this magical place. After the defeat of Dragon King, another dangerous threat has appeared--the terrorizing mummy snatcher!

It's up to Spella to stop this monster from kidnapping any more mummies--including Spella's mummified, talking cat, Egypt--before the worst happens. If the mummy snatcher succeeds, it will awaken the slumbering giants beneath Mummy City, throwing the entire city into chaos! To save the city and her friends, Spella must out-magic her bullies and call upon her skills to defeat the mummy snatcher and get Mummy City back to its unique and whimsical self. But doing so means confronting a hard truth--the terrifying Dragon King may not be gone for good.
