Revision as of 04:33, 30 August 2012
Diary of a Mad Mummy is the tenth book in the Give Yourself Goosebumps book series. It has been out of print for some time.
Plot
The reader is on vacation in San Fransisco, California, and is extremely bored. One day, the reader's family decide to visit a new skyscraper that is modeled after Ancient Egyptian pyramids. As part of the grand opening, there is a special limited edition Ancient Egyptian mummy exhibit, featuring the ancient pharoah, King Buthramaman. The character continues to look around in the exhibit and finds a diary that seems to have been written by the corpse. When the security guard isn't looking, you quickly put the ancient book under your shirt so you can read it. However, the diary has some tricks up its sleeve, and it illustrates the mummy's plans to come to life during the night.
In one choice in the book, the phrase Klaatu barada nikto is used, referencing the 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still. There are also several illustrations in the book including a somewhat unconventional maze.
