Mystery of the Egyptian Scroll

The pictures are great and the lettering is great as well

My 3rd grader loves this series. It’s a great story that is engaging and my son is excited to read each day. The characters are well developed. The plot keeps him guessing. It’s inclusion of aspects of life in ancient Egypt are woven into the stories without being overwhelming and adds depth (passing people playing Senet on the streets for instance).Being set in ancient Egypt with relatable characters, it is blissfully free of the poorly written social “ideology” that has taken over so much of children’s literature recently. If someone wants their kids to read, the best way to get them to read is to give them books that are a really good story (not overwhelm them with poorly written trendy adult social contagions of the moment).My son is an advanced reader for 8yo. Some of the words are challenging for him, but not so much it frustrates him. This book would be engaging for kids well into middle school. We still have him read out loud to us some nights and it was interesting enough my husband and I both grabbed it after he was asleep and read it ourselves.My son is almost through book 2 and can’t wait to read the rest of the series.

My 9 yo daughter loves the adventure and as I’ve been trying to get her to learn more classical studies this is developing her greater interest in classical civilisations. Egypt and Egyptology is our focus at the moment and later the MesoAmerican civilisations. I hope there’s a book for each of these - they’re excellent. I’m going to highly recommend these to her school as a great teaching tool.

Richtig klasse, die Kids lieben dieses Buch. Dass sogar zum nächsten festlichen familiären Event wieder eins gewünscht wurde.

Grand daughter loves to read and she told me she likes the stories
