⭐⭐⭐☆☆

Gabe travels back to Egypt to visit his Uncle Ben who's excavating a mummy's tomb in a pyramid. He spends the summer with his cousin Sari and Uncle Ben. Ben is on the verge of discovering a new tomb of an ancient Egyptian prince related to King Tut. Sari is always so competitive and tries to scare Gabe a lot. I enjoyed reading this one, though maybe not quite as much as some others in the series. 

Mummies and Pyramids by Mary Pope Osborne and Will Osborne

Mummies and Pyramids by Mary Pope Osborne and Will Osborne-119 pages

This is the companion nonfiction to Mummies in the Morning by Osborne. I enjoyed reading this and Mummies in the Morning. I did learn/re-learn a few things about Ancient Egypt and mummies (i.e. Tutankhamun (King Tut) was 8 when he became ruler and died at age 18, so he was called the "boy king"). I enjoy historical fiction and nonfiction and I like that a guide to further research (which includes going to the library!) is in the back of this book. Kids learning how to properly research history and other subjects is important. As I said in my review of Mummies in the Morning, I really liked reading these books as a kid and I still enjoy them to a somewhat lesser extent.
