The Weird Beard

In the first book of the Bab Sharkey and the Animal Mummies series, twelve-year-old Bab Sharkey discovers a magical beard in the Egyptian desert that grants him Pharaoh-like powers and new friends—undead animals named Scaler and Prong. As Bab navigates his newfound abilities, he must contend with the ancient sorceress the Unpharaoh, who is determined to reclaim the beard. Filled with humor, sound effects, and songs, this adventure is perfect for middle-grade readers with a wacky sense of humor.
