Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Meet Ahmed--a boy living near the Valley of the Kings in Egypt in 1922. Though he's grateful for his job as a photographer's assistant, he'd like to shoot something more interesting than rich tourists in front of the temple in Luxor. When he gets the chance to photograph a dig for archaeologist Howard Carter, he's eager to contribute and impatient to uncover a secret tomb.The hilarious Long-Lost Secret Diary series puts readers inside the heads of hapless figures from history stuggling to carry out their roles and getting things horribly wrong. The accessible, irreverent stories will keep young readers laughing as they discover the importance of not being afraid to learn from mistakes. Fact boxes, a glossary, and additional back matter provide historical context and background.
Ahmed is an apprentice photographer in Egypt who becomes involved in Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon's hunt for the final resting place of the boy pharaoh Tutankhamun and his treasures. Will Ahmed help the team to uncover Tutankhamun's tomb? And will he fall victim to the tomb's supposed curse?
