From Booklist:

In this third Sam & Friends Mystery, sheepdog Sam believes she is being stalked by the mummy of the pharaoh Menopharsib. The local museum brought a traveling exhibit of ancient Egyptian artifacts, including the pharaoh’s mummy, to Woodford, so how else would one explain the treats left for her in the snow and the spooky figure that follows her around? Rioux provides black-and-white art for this graphic adaptation of Labatt’s 2002 novel, The Mummy Lives!, which provides just enough spooky goings-on for young readers who don’t want to be too scared, along with a fun mystery. Grades 3-5. --Kat Kan
