This is the third in a series and I find the story line to be outstanding in adventure and intrigue. You are caught up in a whirlwind of "ins & outs" that will keep you guessing right down to the end. I think I can be honest to say that the series has grown leaps and bounds since first story line. It is a must read for your young readers but don't delay in browsing through the pages yourself.. you won't be surprised at the quality of the story. So, what are you waiting for...order the book and then sit back and enjoy! !Avid Reader

Wyatt and Gannon are twin brothers who have applied to and won a prestigious fellowship from the Youth Exploration Society. A fellowship which is granted to only four students a year. The brothers have totally different personalities. Wyatt is studious, with a scientific outlook and has a maturity beyond his years. Gannon likes pranks, is slightly superstitious, and has a devil may care attitude. Yet each enjoys the adventures and mysteries to be found in life and are not shy about pursuing their passion. Being home schooled they are able to take the month off to explore Egypt. Their father, a sculptor will be staying in Egypt during their time there.

Wyatt and Gannon meet the other two students, James from Australia and Serene from Egypt at the airport when Dr Aziz welcomes them and their father upon their arrival. A short visit the next day to the bazaar for souvenirs before they take off to the site, while Wyatt finds all he is wanting, Gannon does not until just before it is time to return to the hotel. A small sop off the beaten path draws him and as he talks to the owner he tells them of their plans to search for Cleopatra's tomb. Asking for something special to buy the man takes them out the back and through a maze of alleys and backstreets to show them his private collection. He hands Gannon a piece of tile and tells them about his grandfather an archeologist who disappeared years before. He tells the boys his grandfather told him it came from Cleopatra's tomb. He gives the tile to Gannon after making him promise to honor the site and history if they should discover it is indeed the final resting place of Egypt's most famous female pharaoh.

With curses, poisonous snakes and deadly traps Wyatt and Gannon must travel a perilous path as they work with the Doctor to excavate the site and find proof on whose body resides there. Travels With Gannon and Wyatt Egypt offers many tidbits about Cairo, Minya and other sites around Egypt. You can imagine the scenes and sounds in your mind and as you close your eyes you can even smell the scents to be had there. With pictures to accent the story to be found peppered through out the novel. This book is a joy for all who read it no matter the age. I found the characters likable and and endearing. I am sure you will as well. Gannon and Wyatt have other adventures as well for you to enjoy. Take a moment to pick up and explore the world with Gannon and Wyatt.
This is the third of the Gannon and Wyatt books. The first follows the brothers' adventures in Botswana and the second is set in British Columbia. This one is set in Egypt and offers the best combination of adventure and travelogue.

You could describe the books in this series as top flight reality-adventure-fiction. The books are composed of alternating travel journal entries authored by twin brothers Gannon and Wyatt. Gannon is a friendly loosey-goosey kind of guy and Wyatt is a more buttoned-down and serious sort.

While this book is fictional, it isn't just a novel, in the sense that the Hardy Boys books or Tom Swift books, or similar adventures, are primarily novels. These are fictional travel journals. Lots of exciting things happen, but they are recounted in the same diary form that you would expect from any actual explorer/adventurer. Some books in the series, (like the Botswana book), don't really have a plot, just travel incidents. This Egypt book has more of a plot, more drama, (a cave-in, a dust storm, tomb robbers, curses!), and feels a little more like a boys-own adventure.

That said, either version works. The two brothers have distinct voices and engaging personalities. The writing is a bit advanced to be from teenage journalists, but the author carefully balances creating authentic voices with writing at a high quality level. The result is that the boys feel authentic, but the writing is professional.

The author does a very satisfying job of getting the locations right. There is more of an attempt to lay the groundwork for this exotic adventure. There is interesting and well described travel through Cairo, along the Nile, and into Luxor . There is a dramatic subplot about the search for Cleopatra's tomb that only sort of works, but it affords the boys an opportunity to learn more about Cleopatra and Egyptian history. One of the brothers is worried about curses, and that is handled mostly for chuckles. A lot of information about Egyptian culture and daily life is worked in to the narrative, the travelogue parts are correct, the geography and settings are right, and so you get a real you-are-there kind of feel. At the same time, there is, for dramatic and narrative purposes, more action, intrigue and adventure than is typical, and so you get a concentrated and dramatized version. To mix up generational references, it's a Lowell Thomas/Marlin Perkins educational travelogue approach grafted onto an adventure mystery, and they complement each other well. Old style black and white photos that look like travel snapshots help maintain the reality atmosphere.

So, you get two engaging heroes, a series of ripping yarns, travel and geography facts, and a very gung-ho adventure all wrapped up in an appealing package. A nice find and a bit of variety for an imaginative middle grade or young YA reader.

Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of this book in exchange for a candid review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.
Amazing Adventure Series for kids! Reminds me of Indiana Jones with all thrills.... and the added bonus of cultural and environmental education of a foreign land is just what kids need today! Can't wait to share EGYPT with my nephew Gabe!
It was not the best book and it was ridiculously over priced. Like when they get to the tomb (spoiler alert) I didn't really catch that they where captive.
My students, both girls & boys enjoy the entire series.
Item as described
It's so nice to have quality adventure books that feature a homeschool family! Mom is a flight attendant, Dad is an artist, and the twin boys "journal" most of their adventures as part of their school work. We are really enjoying this series!
