Pete and the Curse of the Grand-Mummy

Pate ja mummon kirous

The 12th adventure for Pete, Senja, and Totti takes place in Egypt!

Pete and Senja are cursed. Or so says the letter written by Senja’s grandmother. Thankfully, her letter also includes instructions on how to reverse the curse in only three short steps:
Go to Egypt.
Find Hetepsekhemwy.
Return the ring.

As our trusted, adventure-prone trio set off on their newest quest — as currently ringless ringbearers searching for something they cannot really pronounce, it is already clear that a great adventure awaits! Later on they are joined by more mummies, including Nils’s mummy of course, the formidable Captain Hahab! But before they can face ancient secrets and desert dangers, there’s just one small problem: how on earth do they get to Egypt?
