After Spella and her friends successfully rescued her magical hat-making aunt from the dangerous Dragon King, Spella is back!

If the mummy snatcher succeeds, it will awaken the slumbering giants beneath Mummy City, throwing the entire city into chaos! To save the city and her friends, Spella must out-magic her bullies and call upon her skills to defeat the mummy snatcher and get Mummy City back to its unique and whimsical self.
