Must Read Book Even Though Old

Young Indiana Jones and the Tomb of Terror by Les Martin is an exciting adventure, about a boy named Indiana Jones [Indy for short] and his friend Sallah, an Egyptian boy. When an archeologist looks suspicious Indy and Sallah decide to join in on the fun. This book is adventurous and teaches you a little bit about Egypt. This book takes place in the summer of 1913 in Egypt. Indy, an adventurous kid, meets Sallah, a trustworthy helpful Egyptian boy, who befriends Indy. They meet the evil Von trappen, a so-called archeologist. He secretly plans to melt a golden statue of king Tut, but Indy and Sallah decide to try and save the kings' statue. As you can see this is a must read. There are hundreds of ways to tell you this is a must read book however I can only state a few. The first fantastic reason this is a must read book is because its sense of adventure, it constantly gives you cliffhanger chapters keeping you off the edge of you're seat! Secondly the characters just fit so well it makes you feel like you're with them in Egypt. Last but not least the action oh I can't even explain especially at the end when Von Trappen gets what he deserved. This is definitely a must read for anyone who loves foreign adventure, and a little bit of history!!
