Curse of King Tut's Tomb by Michael Burgan

Curse of King Tut's Tomb by Michael Burgan

Series brings history to life using high-interest topics. These graphic novels tell the story of important historical events in a narrative format that will capture kids' imagination and teach them key facts and details.

These books offer high-interest subject matter in a graphic-novel formatHistorically accurate, each one presents brief information about the featured event. Yellowish-tan bubbles indicate direct quotations from primary sources...And make no mistake, these are stories, based on fact and classified as nonfiction; there is invented dialogue, which is close to melogramatic at times. Thoughts and feelings are also fictionalized. Likely to be snatched up by young and reluctant readers, these titles work as hooks to lead to more in-depth information or as fun and interesting reads. Colorful artwork with strong black lines is competently done and contributes to a sense of time and place. Great literature? No. Shelf sitters? Definitely not.
