Mo has won a very special prize, an Ancient Egypt sleepover in a museum. But he has no clue how dangerous it will be. With a mystery to solve, codes to crack and priceless treasure to save, one thing is sure: Mo will not be getting any sleep tonight!
The Ancient Egypt Sleepover is a fast-paced, easy-to-read adventure story that is bound to engage any reader interested in history and museums, especially those who would love the opportunity to sleep in a museum overnight!
Told from the viewpoint of the main character, Mo, who won a writing competition prize of a sleepover in a museum, this story makes many references to Ancient Egypt throughout its plot, in particular the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb and the importance of Hieroglyphics.
Readers can imagine themselves, just like Mo, getting up to all sorts of adventures in a museum like this. The author also weaves ancient historical discoveries with the modern-day wonder and awe of the children finding out about the past.
This would be a great additional classroom read for lower KS2 that could support or further learning about Ancient Egypt.
