I did not finish - I have tried reading this book on multiple occasions and just could not get into it.

I love to read about all things Egypt. This book did not disappoint. It is the story of Zet, Kat (Zet's Sister) and Hui (Zet's best friend and has a crush on Kat) who live in Egypt. Zet and Kat's Dad is off fighting the war and they and their Mom make ends meet with a pottery tent in the market place. One day all of the sudden a Mummy comes to their village and targets them. The town people are scared and think they are cursed, so they return all their pottery thinking that is cursed too. Zet, Kat and Hui all think something is strange about this and go on to solve the mystery of the Mummy. In the meantime we learn the they are all very good friends with the Princess. This is a wonderful story of friendship, mystery and will keep you guessing till the end. The description of the time seems authentic and the storyline flows very well. I hope to see more stories of this group of young detectives in older Egypt.
I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

"This had a great story, but didn't live up to the previous books in the series. I liked the twists and turns that happened continuously throughout the book, even if it was a bit confusing at times, and the ending was good. I liked the Egyptian history and mythology that is in the book, and the mystery was fun to solve."
~Review from one of my middle school students

This student has read the other two Zet books previously, so I thought he'd be perfect to review it. It took him a few days to finish and seemed on target with his reading level. It kept him engaged and in spite of him saying it didn't live up to the previous books, he seemed to enjoy it just as much. I would recommend it for students interested in Ancient Egypt or just looking for a good historical mystery.

Fun to to read and enjoyable. A very good book for children that can also be appreciated by adults.
