This is a **thrilling mystery** written for the **9 to 12 year old crowd**. The cliff hanger style and supernatural aspect will lure even the most reluctant reader into turning the pages until the end. On the positive side, this novel has, in addition to it's exciting subject and fast-pace, brings attention to the differences between the lives of wealthy American Donovan and his Egyptian friend Ali. On a **sour note the subject of adoption** is brought up, with the **stereotypical "my 'real' parents are..."** which is insulting to those of us in adoptive families. **Other than that, this is a fun read, one that could possibly spark an interest into Egypt or archeology.**
