McMummy — Betsy Byars / Betsy Cromer Byars

This is no ordinary plant...

When Mozie agreed to take care of the professor's greenhouse, he never dreamed he'd be haunted by one of the plants. But ever since he discovered the weird mummy-shaped, human-sized pod, Mozie's felt a strange connection to "McMummy." He's scared to go near it -- but he's also scared to stay away. Mozie thinks McMummy might need him. Even more frightening, Mozie might be right.
