The Book High

3.5 stars

This installment in the series was back to the delightful alchemy of an exciting adventure, great historical details and fantastically beautiful illustrations.

Jack and his trusty dependence on books here helps us learn about the structure of pyramids, and how they often had false tunnels to confuse grave robbers. Along the way, they meet and help the queen solve a mystery and follow a mysterious cat to escape some of the false tunnels.

This one might have earned 4 stars, because the reader is also introduced to the idea of hieroglyphics, which was interesting. However, I found the literal connection of the hieroglyphs to actual objects too simplistic and slightly misleading.
