This is a tale of two boys visiting Egypt and their mysterious adventure eminently suitable for the young and even mature reader. This is a rousting adventure story for young readers. It had nothing inappropriate. There was violence but not overblown or dwelled upon. The characters were likeable and painted clearly. Ingram did a very insightful work on the young male psychic. She clearly captures the age appropriate disregard for safety and saneness. Her protagonists blithely fly into danger with little caution for the consequences.
It is refreshing to have an adventure story for this age group that has no vampires or wizards. The setting is aptly described. You’ll find yourself seeking out liquid refreshment as you sweat in the desert scenes. Young Indiana Jones stand back and watch Adam and Justin steal your thunder. This is the first book in a series that is sure to please.
I highly recommend the book.
