I loved this book! It was exciting and enjoyable. My favorite part was when Zack shrunk to ant size. It was easy to read. I didn't want to stop.

"Evil Queen Tut and the Great Ant Pyramids," by Dan Greenburg, is #16 in the "Zack Files" series of novels for young adult readers. Greenburg's lighthearted sci-fi tale is well enhanced by Jack E. Davis' goofy illustrations.

The books in this series tell the adventures of Zack, an elementary school student who often finds himself involved in paranormal phenomena. In "Evil Queen Tut," Zack is accidentally shrunken down to insect size and encounters the villain of the title: she is the dictatorial monarch of a surprisingly advanced ant civilization. Zack is a likeable hero, and there are some clever jokes and plot points. Overall, this book is good silly fun.

Zack meets an Egyptian ant in Central Park on a school trip. The Egyptian ant doesn't mean an ant from Egypt but an ant who has a culture like old Egypt. And the ant Zack meets is a slave ant who escaped from a colony. Zack decide helping her. What adventures are waiting him?

I think this is a good adventure story. Author sets very special situations and makes the story interesting.
Many things happen in short time. And many ideas in the story that let you surprise.
Especially I felt familiar with the Egypt stuff in this story because I visited Egypt this May.

Enjoy the adventures with Zack!
