Echo, a bat, is the storyteller in this series. Echo is friend to the Silver family and their three children: Michael, Tyler, and Becca.

This episode begins when Echo sees a mummy  on their way home from a family fishing trip at Lake Placid. Soon afterward an Ancient Egyptian Exhibit opens at the local Fogville Museum. King Tut’s grandmother, Queen Tiye, is part of the exhibit. Legend has it  she tutored Tutankhamen on the ways of being a great pharaoh. She, also, enjoyed playing the ancient Egyptian strategy game of senet with Tut nightly. “Legend has it that the day her grandson won a game, it would be the sign that he was finally ready to become pharaoh.” Now, Queen Tiye is unable to rest peacefully since her tomb has been unearthed until her grandson wins a game of senet played with her. Tyler Silver learns how to play senet and begins to play it competitively. Michael, Tyler, and Becca Silver plan to have Tyler (dressed as Tut ) challenge Queen Tiye to a game in the museum after the museum has closed for the evening. Echo is instrumental in getting them inside the museum and in winning the game.

The color illustrations (12 full page, & 24- 1/3 page) add to the enjoyment of this exotic story line. The grandmother mummy wears granny glasses as part of the light-hearted fun.
