This review is from: The Curse of the Nile (The Mummy Chronicles, 3) (Paperback)

Even though he's had plenty of dangerous adventures recently, twelve-year-old Alex O'Connell thought a cruise down the Nile to find the lost temple of Osiris would be relatively safe. But the journey becomes dangerous when kidnappers through Alex overboard. He's about to be devoured by crocodiles when he finds an amulet. In his mind, he wishes he would swim faster than the crocodiles, and suddenly, he is. Returning to Cairo, he shows the amulet to his friends Matt and Rachel. They discover that the amulet will grant any wish thought or spoken by the one who holds it. They also discover that an evil sorcerer is imprisoned in the amulet, and will be released if anyone uses it to make three wishes. They also discover that their enemy Ungricht wants the amulet. Alex, Matt, and Rachel have to escape Ungricht and find a way to destroy the amulet without releasing the sorcerer. This thrilling book will be enjoyed by all readers who liked the first two Mummy Chronicles books.

This review is from: Revenge of the Scorpion King (The Mummy Chronicles, Book 1) (Paperback)

Twelve-year-old Alex O'Connell, the son of Rick and Evelyn from the movie The Mummy, who are now married, is living in Egypt in the year 1937. He wants to grow up and be a member of Medjai, who work to keep the dark forces from being reawakened. But before he can be a Medjai, he must prove himself. When he notices some shifty-looking Nazi soldiers, he decides to follow them to discover what they are up to. What he discovers blows him away. The Germans have made a deal with the Scorpion King - the evil creature Alex thought his father destroyed for good four years ago. In exchange for a human soul, the Scorpion King's master, Anubis - the God of the Dead - will allow the Nazis to rule to world for a thousand years. Now, it's up to Alex, along with a girl named Rachel who has her own reasons for hating the Nazis, to stop this evil bargain before it's too late. This was a thrilling read for fans of the movie The Mummy and was based on characters from the soon-to-be released movie sequel titled The Mummy Returns.
