Max Flash,explosive escapologist and master magician, is back for his fourth death-defying mission. The department for extraordinary activity tells Max that the sorcerer's venom an ancient egyptian papyrus has been stolen. Legend has it that the papyrus holds the power to rise the dead, so Max must prepare himself for a gruesome battle.
This is my favorite so far in the Max Flash series. This one has Max traveling to an archaeological dig in Ancient Egypt, where a mysterious piece of papyrus has fallen into the wrong hands. Max is accompanied by two fellow agents, who are doing double duty as archaeologists on the dig. He encounters mummies who have come back to life and think it has only been 50 years since they were buried. Another action-packed book that has a bonus of teaching readers a bit about Ancient Egypt.
