I am a huge fan of Scholastic's multi-platform series such as the 39 Clues and Spirit Animals. This book and new series was no exception.
In these books Alex Sennefer has always been a sickly child. So much so, that he almost dies. Actually he does die but his mom, an Egyptologist, uses the newly discovered Lost Spells and her mysterious amulet to bring him back to life. Problem is the spell also cause other things to happen including the rejuvenation of Stung Man. When Alex's mom disappears it is up to him, his friend Ren, and Dr. Todtman to take care of Stung Man, repair some of the damage, and find Alex's mom.
As a 1st book in a series one knows there is going to be an inconclusive ending but I felt this wrapped up well. The Egyptian lore will appeal to readers who like the mythology. The book was relatively short and full of action. This will be a series I will have in the library.
