Ten years after the first adventure, the ancient Egyptian mummy returns to menace the world, and Rick and Evelyn O'Connell and their son, Alex, must try to stop it.

Much better writing than the junior novelization of the first film! However, I would still argue that this is NOT a true “junior” novelization as there’s some minor swearing, serious brutality, and plenty of horror elements (pretty much just as they appear in the film). If you would be comfortable with your child/teen seeing the movie, then this book would be fine, otherwise you might want to wait until they’re a bit older. Overall, the book is a scene-for-scene retelling of the film, with some additional information that I would guess was part of the original script, but cut from the final film due to time constraints.
