Michael Clarke is the main protagonist of the sixteenth Goosebumps Series 2000 book, The Mummy Walks.
History
He gets on a plane, thinking he's going to Orlando. While checking his bag, he sees a note from his parents that reads "WE ARE NOT YOUR PARENTS". He is shocked to discover that he lands in a country named Jezekiah and is greeted by a man named General Rameer who tells Michael that he is really the prince of this nation. His parents implanted a memory chip inside his brain which has the location of not just the valuable Jezekiah sapphire, but Emperor Pukrah, a cursed mummy with powers. Michael was then sent to America to live with Mr. and Mrs. Clarke, before his real parents were murdered. General Rameer has brought Michael back in hopes that he'll lead them to the mummy.
When trying to escape the first time, Michael meets a girl named Megan Kerr, who claims her parents were killed by Rameer who then took her in as a daughter. After a series of events including a shootout by the rebels led by General Mohamm, Michael and company explore a cave, where Michael sees Pukrah walk, it turned out to be Megan playing a prank. Eventually Michael ends up captured by Mohamm who tries to open his skull in hopes of finding the memory chip. They find no trace of it. Mohamm has Michael set to be murdered by firing squad, but Megan shows up in time to rescue him.
Michael returns home, where Michael learns that Mr. and Mrs. Clarke were holding the mummy in their basement the entire time. Not only that, but they had the memory chip in Michael's head removed when he was a baby. In the end, Megan double crosses Michael, because General Rameer is actually Megan's real father, she leaves him a note about what she did. Michael goes to check on the sarcophagus, only to find a note reading "THE MUMMY WALKS AGAIN". Possibly meaning that Pukrah has come to life.
