About This Book

Bick Kidd and his globe-trotting siblings Beck, Storm and Tommy may have completed their first treasure hunt after their father was lost at sea, but their kidnapped mother is still in the hands of nasty pirates. Their search for a rescue plan takes them down the Nile river in Africa, where they'll have to navigate everything from Egyptian pyramids in the desert to wet-and-wild jungles - not to mention life-threatening encounters with wilderness diseases, angry hippos and some seriously bad guys

Our Review

When the Kidd siblings' mother is taken by pirates, their desperate rescue mission sends them racing down the Nile, trading one life-threatening crisis for another. Bick, Beck, Storm, and Tommy must survive a gauntlet of dangers, from the ancient, trap-laden pyramids of Egypt to the disease-ridden, predator-filled jungles further south, all while being hunted by ruthless villains who want them dead.

This adventure thriller excels at relentless pacing, plunging readers from a desert archaeological puzzle directly into a river teeming with territorial hippos and other natural threats. Fans of the first book will appreciate the deepened stakes and family loyalty driving the plot, while new readers will be hooked by the non-stop action and exotic locales. It’s a breathless, cinematic ride perfect for anyone who craves a story where the environment is just as dangerous as the bad guys.
