    Very entertaining in a children's book-mindless sort of way. I love that it ends as a cliffhanger, and it had a couple of unexpected twists that keep it fun.

    The Long-Lost Map by Pierdomenico Baccalario When two boys discover themselves in Egypt like 200 years ago what should they do? They only have one choice: find the long lost map in order to get back home. But they have to race with their enemy Oblivia Newton who is eager to find the map too. Who will find it first? A thrilling mystery and adventure book.

    You should read this book if you like mystery, a little bit of history and a little violence. You shouldn't read this book if you HATE snakes.

    I like this book. This book is both interesting and a little confusing. Jason, Julia, and Rick have discovered the door to Time, one of the secrets of Argo Manor. In this book the door transports them to Ancient Egypt. Which is a land full of puzzles, riddles, labyrinths and secrets. But then the get separated and Julia ends up back in Argo Manor and the boys are stuck in Ancient Egypt. Now Julia can't get back to the boys or Ancient Egypt. Now Jason and Rick have to find the Long-Lost map of Kilmore Cove, hidden in the past, before the wicked Oblivia Newton (who is hot on their trail) and her servant Manfred (who is also hot on their trail) can get it.

    The story begins when the twins Jason and Julia, with Ricky along to explore Argo Manor. When they went throught the door which brings them to Egypt. Unfortunately while solving the mystery Jason and Rick were separated from Julia. So Julia is still at Argo Manor whereas the boys ventured out into Egypt where they meet a curious Egyptian girl named Maruk. So maruk guided the boys to solve the riddles. They soon realize that the discovery leads to an important long lost map which they are going to discovery. But their search for the map wont be easy when there is someone who is in search for the same thing.

    I loved this book! The whole concept is brilliant. It is a wonderful mystery much like Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys. It will leave you speechless the whole way through.
