The Secret of the Sphinx
Fourteen-year-old Lorton McCroy thinks he's in for a typical summer vacation-until his eccentric archaeologist uncle drags him halfway across the world to Egypt.
But this isn't any sightseeing trip. Tom McCroy has been hired to explore newly discovered tunnels beneath the Great Sphinx itself, rumored to lead to the fabled Hall of Records.
Armed with only a cryptic riddle, a battered map, and a love of history, Lorton follows his uncle into an underground labyrinth filled with ancient traps, deadly Komodo dragons, and the chilling possibility of getting lost forever. Worse, they're not alone down there-someone has been living in the Sphinx's tunnels for decades, and he'll do anything to keep his secrets.
The Secret of the Sphinx is an old-school adventure in the spirit of Indiana Jones for young readers-complete with ancient mysteries, dangerous creatures, and plenty of family banter. Perfect for readers who love archaeology, travel, and hair-raising exploration in exotic lands.
