Libby and the Egyptian Escapade by Jo Clarke

Libby is heading into a new term with her Aunt’s travelling school and this time, it’s the heat and lure of Egypt welcoming the students. The whole gang is back together and Libby should be thrilled but she is worried about her mum, and awaits news of her Dad!

Now that we know this group so well, it was only a matter of pages before trouble found them. When Noah buys a replica canopic jar from a museum shop, he is thrilled. Moments later he is crashed into by someone and he picks up his bag though the jar now seems to have a crack and is stuffed with a roll of paper. At the time of this crash, the alarms sound as a theft has occurred!

What follows is a tour of Egypt as Miss Mousedale and Miss Khatun try to keep the group safe and out of trouble. News of the thefts have Egypt on high alert and worries about the curse surrounding Tutankhamen abound. 

From Cairo to Luxor to the Valley of the Kings, the students are getting a whirlwind adventure in Egypt and a few faces and suspicions keep Libby on her toes. Will more trouble follow the group or can they help stop the curse?

Another phenomenal story- one that wraps up a few questions about characters. I love this series and am always recommending them in libraries! I think I would love to be a student at a school that travels and extends the experiences of its students.
