"Just the omission of Jane Austen's books alone would make a fairly good library out of a library that hadn't a book in it."

Join an archaeological expedition solving a mystery of Ancient Egypt.
It is 1924, two years after the discovery of King Tut's tomb. Readers are invited to join a young boy, Will Hunt, as he and his family become part of an archaeological team led by world-famous Egyptologist Dr. George Reisner. Based on actual records of Reisner's history-making dig, Giza 7000X, this strikingly original picture book uses journal entries, funny postcards, and quirky cartoons to pull readers into an ancient unsolved mystery. Luminous paintings of the pyramids, informative sidebars and inventive collages, including authentic documents and archival photographs, help provide information and clues. When a secret tomb is uncovered, readers, along with Will, put together clues to discover: Whose tomb is this? Why was it hidden? And how can a mummy be missing from a sealed tomb?
This illuminating book invites readers to participate in the process of archaeology as it provides a rare glimpse into the true stories that exist behind the objects in museums.
Claudia Logan is a former museum educator and teacher. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Melissa Sweet has illustrated many books for children, including Charlotte in Giverny. She lives in Rockport, Maine.
