This review is from: Ancient Greece (History Detectives) (Paperback)

My 8 year old son is very interested in all things Egyptian. We both found this to be a very well done book, the perfect level for a 2nd grader. There is a bonus story at the end that gives clues and lets you solve a mystery. This was a huge hit!!
