Review

This photographic journey through an archeological find will pique the interest of young readers interested in Egyptology. A map pinpoints the dig's location. The book is filled with many color photographs detailing what is happening. The tools used are discussed. Sidebars add more details. Readers learn that class played a role in burial. The chief archeologist tells about a curse that followed him when a mummy was moved. All together, a fascinating look at his topic presented at a level younger readers can understand.

Overall Book Score: good
