Even their mummies won't be able to save the trio this time!
A field trip to the museum turns deadly for Peter, Dill and Gwen when Dill suddenly begins transforming without the effects of the moon as a catalyst [start from story one if this revelation caught you by surprise]. Then the mummy is reanimated and suddenly we have the showdown monster fans dream about; mummy vs. werewolf! The worst monsters show up at the end, though. Five stars!

This series has been so much fun! So far I’ve encountered Vampires, Werewolves, Frankenstein, the Mummy and various other creatures of the horror/fantasy genre. Looking forward to more.

With Peter’s troubles, Dill thinks a field trip to a museum housing an ancient Egyptian mummy is a bad idea. However, grandfather overrules him, and off the group go on the field trip. At first, it seems like Grandfather is right and nothing will happen. Until events conspire to keep Gwen, Dill, and Peter in the museum until after dark.
This one starts out a little slow, but the action ratchets up fast. This story also has a few moments so funny I actually had to put the book down because I was laughing too hard to continue reading. And their discussion about how to beat the mummy, using monster movies as their reference points for weaknesses had me doubled over in hysterics.
This is the first time the group has fought together since the Dark Side episode. And the fight was as epic one, all the better for the anticipation. As strong female characters go, Gwen is the perfect blend of feminine, capable, confident and strong – so it was nice to have her back again as one of the main characters.
But this story has a serious side, too. The mummy is a tough foe. I’ve expressed this in other reviews for the Peter and the Monsters series, but I’m glad to see that there are serious consequences in regards to some of Peter and the gangs actions. For example, smashing up millions of dollars in displays while trying to kill an undead mummy. Or getting hurt and injured while fighting said mummy.
