Hot On The Trail In Ancient Egypt GN – Kids Can Press takes readers on a journey back to Ancient Egypt. Twins Josh and Emma have had a boring summer, having to spend it with their little sister Libby while their friends are off on vacation. But when Libby runs into the creepy Good Times Agency and opens a travel guide for ancient Egypt, they are suddenly transported there! They get split up when Josh is taken away to help build a pyramid for the kings, and after they are reunited, they are accused of being tomb robbers! The only way home is to finish reading the guidebook. Will they do it in time? Filled with excitement and adventures, and lots of facts about life in ancient Egypt, including politics, government, philosophy, and the daily lives and celebrations of the people, Hot On The Trail In Ancient Egypt is a great book to give curious readers young and old.

Wrapped Up #7 – Lion Forge shows dad mummies can be cool too. Milo sneaks on board a ship heading to a cursed island where a martial arts tournament that will decide the fate of the world is going to take place.
