It's summer vacation, and for the first time ever, Indiana Bamboo is visiting her cousin Boris in New York City when it's not Thanksgiving, Passover, or the Fourth of July. It becomes the most exciting visit of all. Indiana Bamboo is plunked smack in the middle of a big city mystery. How could Princess Nefertila disappear, but not disappear, from her mummy case at the Metropolitan Museum of Art? Indiana and her cousin Boris follow clues all over Manhattan, but just when they're convinced that something is rotten in mummyland, the police declare case closed. Back home, Indiana spots the bad guys at the local museum, but what are they doing in River Creek, and why are they so interested in Prince Freddy, River Creek's own hometown mummy? There's no time to lose as the mystery that began in New York City leads Indiana and her friends from an ancient legend and a sacred scarab to a hidden pyramid in the Indiana woods. But can they foil the bad guys' evil plans for Princess Nefertila and Prince Freddy before it's too late? Indiana Bamboo and the Not-Missing Mummy was selected as a New Voices in Children's Literature: Tassy Walden Awards Middle Grade Finalist.
