From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-Hemon, 12, is certain that his father is lost in the Pharaoh's newly completed pyramid. He asks for readers' help in getting into it and finding his parent, whom he thinks is in the main burial chamber. To get there, readers must go through a series of mazes. Along the way, Hemon gives a sort of guided tour of the pyramids, their construction, the living conditions of the builders, and a brief overview of the burial practices and beliefs of the ancient Egyptians. The print size is very small; most of each spread is taken up by the full-color illustration. The book includes nine mazes and a puzzle, with solutions. Children who are into puzzles will enjoy it, and will learn something about the ancient Egyptians along the way.

This review is from: Secrets Of The Pyramids: National Geographic Maze Adventures (Paperback)
There are lots of fun maze books around, and this one is as fun as any, but what sets it apart are the details about pyramid design and construction. A lot of fascinating historical info from National Geographic is woven into the stories and puzzles, and the book still very engaging, not at all dry. I bought it for a niece, but ended up reading all the pages myself before I gave it to her. Good for kids of almost any age.

This review is from: Secrets Of The Pyramids: National Geographic Maze Adventures (Paperback)
This book is both an introduction into ancient Egyptian culture and a fun maze book that is great to do with your child. It features a narrative story by a boy looking to help his father, a builder working on the pharoh's hidden chamber, find his way out before the tomb is closed forever. Wonderful illustrations and a fun puzzle increase the enjoyment of this book. The companion book about castles is also a great pick. My 8 year old loves Egyptian culture, as do I. We really had a nice time working on this book together.
