Few
of us have gotten to visit the great pyramids of Egypt, but we have seen
and read many stories about the magnificence of ancient Egyptian pyramids.
None of us has had the opportunity to explore any of the pyramids. In THE
5,000-YEAR-OLD PUZZLE by Claudia Logan you become part of a tomb expedition.
You travel with young Will Hunt in search of a hidden tomb. If you find
it, what will be in it? Will it contain treasures like those in the tomb
found just a few years earlier—King Tut’s tomb? To get a first hand feel
for what an archeological dig might be like, read THE 5,000-YEAR-OLD PUZZLE
by Claudia Logan.
