Twins Josh and Emma are not happy when their little sister, Libby, leads them into the creepy Good Times Travel Agency. There, the strange shop owner encourages them to open a guidebook—and they're sent back in time to ancient Egypt! With the help of the guidebook, the children encounter one adventure after another: building a pyramid, shopping at a market, attending a banquet.

Will they manage to finish reading the entire guidebook—their only way back home—before they are arrested?

Kids will have endless fun on this all-inclusive tour of an ancient civilization!

      Gr 3-5-The Binkerton twins, Emma and Josh, have had a boring summer hanging out with their little sister, Libby, while their friends are on vacation. One day, Libby runs into the Good Time Travel Agency, owned and run by the eccentric Julian T. Pettigrew. She opens up a strange book, Julian T. Pettigrew's Personal Guide to Ancient Egypt, sending the trio back to 2500 BCE along the Nile River Valley. There they must navigate ancient Egypt, exploring markets, learning hieroglyphics, and even building the great pyramids, as they find a way home. Similar to the "Magic Tree House" series, this title centers siblings on an unexpected journey filled with danger and excitement. Most of the pages in this story are split in half; the top focuses on Emma, Josh, and Libby, while the bottom (from Julian T. Pettigrew's guide) gives detailed facts and information on ancient Egypt. This updated version of a title published in 2000 features a "further exploration" section (with recommended books, websites, and DVDs) and additional back matter material, though the narrative remains the same as in the original. Lighthearted and simply presented, this offering covers more than just the standard mummies and pyramids. The art is clean and expressive, with lots of hidden details and Easter eggs readers will sure to be scouring pages to find. VERDICT Light time-travel fare that would make a good resource for elementary papers and projects.-Thomas Jonte, Pensacola State College, FL
