The second entry in the Butterfly Club series， THE MUMMY'S CURSE sees the time travelling trio head forward in time to the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb in an attempt to find its location so it can be excavated in their time period in order for the time travelling club to benefit financially。The book uses this to explore the exploitation of archaeology by Western European countries and the colonial laws used to enforce it。 By setting out on the quest for money and then reinforcing it with the The second entry in the Butterfly Club series， THE MUMMY'S CURSE sees the time travelling trio head forward in time to the excavation of Tutankhamun's tomb in an attempt to find its location so it can be excavated in their time period in order for the time travelling club to benefit financially。The book uses this to explore the exploitation of archaeology by Western European countries and the colonial laws used to enforce it。 By setting out on the quest for money and then reinforcing it with the attitudes of the parties at the dig， the book is a really nice way of starting that discussion with children。I feel like lots of kids go through an Egyptology phase at some point （I definitely did！） so it was just fun to return to that， but see it based around the archaeology side， the wonder of discovery mixed with puzzles and heisting that are movie staples。 It's a really great blend and makes for an exciting read。 Plus the way real events have been incorporated into the curse was very neat。There are also more hints about some sort of reckoning/attack on the club to come， as the cryptic message from the previous book is explained a bit。 Given how close the Victorian parts of the two books have been， and how close the mysterious date is， it looks like it might come to a head in a book soon。 The next entry involves the Mona Lisa and is out in the spring！ 。。。more

The concept of this book was intriguing: the time-traveling component with the Egyptian curse， mixed with the action-packed plot， historical references and exotic setting。 Overall， I really enjoyed this read。 It is the second book in the series， but you can easily read it as a standalone。 There are several nods to book 1 about the Titanic that will make you want to read it too。 Despite a few lagging parts， it's a satisfying novel for both young readers and adults。 The concept of this book was intriguing: the time-traveling component with the Egyptian curse， mixed with the action-packed plot， historical references and exotic setting。 Overall， I really enjoyed this read。 It is the second book in the series， but you can easily read it as a standalone。 There are several nods to book 1 about the Titanic that will make you want to read it too。 Despite a few lagging parts， it's a satisfying novel for both young readers and adults。 。。。more

I enjoyed this book。 I've not read the first one， set on the Titanic， but that didn't make too much of an impact on my enjoyment of this one。 On of the things I found interesting in this book is the historically accurate sounding ideas around the British Empire and how it influenced people's opinions on what the British were entitled to do。 I recently read another book on Netgalley which focused on Tutankhamun's tomb and that is where I found out about the role of Hussein Abdel-Rassoul in the di I enjoyed this book。 I've not read the first one， set on the Titanic， but that didn't make too much of an impact on my enjoyment of this one。 On of the things I found interesting in this book is the historically accurate sounding ideas around the British Empire and how it influenced people's opinions on what the British were entitled to do。 I recently read another book on Netgalley which focused on Tutankhamun's tomb and that is where I found out about the role of Hussein Abdel-Rassoul in the discovery of the tomb so I loved that this book makes him into such a pivotal character。 I know the children in my school would really enjoy the mystery and excitement of this story and I will definitely be looking to add it to our Ancient Egypt book collection。 。。。more
