Review
This is the second title in this action-packed series. Book 1 was included in our April selections, however Book 2 can certainly be read as stand-alone title—I haven’t read Book 1, but found this to be a riveting read.
The students from the strange and quirky school of Prometheus High find themselves caught up in a lot of drama. Set above the skies of the pyramids, on board an airship, they are to learn about mummies, alchemy, the pyramids and all the mysteries that they hold...
Our main character, Athena, is front and centre of the action. She finds herself caught up trying to help her friend Marceline find out who she really is, and who created her. But little do they know that by leaving their friend Godfrey out of their plans, they have opened him up to become a pawn in other not-so-genuine quests…
With highly dangerous adventures in the pyramids, spells, magic, resurrection of mummies (which doesn't quite go to plan!), this is full of action, and not for the faint hearted. With themes of friendship, helping others, ethical questions and standing up for yourself, it is aimed at lower secondary students.
