This Level 2 Penguin Reader offers a simplified retelling of 'The Mummy' film, making the thrilling adventure accessible to a younger audience or English language learners. The story follows Rick O'Connell's discovery of the Lost City of the Dead and the subsequent awakening of an ancient, cursed high priest. The narrative maintains the core elements of suspense and action from the original, focusing on bravery in the face of supernatural danger. It's ideal for children aged 8-12 who are reluctant readers or those building their English vocabulary, providing an engaging plot without overly complex language. Parents should be aware of the moderate scary scenes and peril, which might be intense for very sensitive children.
