First I want to say that I am on Susanna Leonard Hill’s blog for her “Would You Read It Wednesday” post. It is a feature that people send in pitches for books they wrote and other people tell them if they’d read it (and why/why not). I entered the pitch for a chapter book I wrote. Please check it out HERE and tell me – “Would you read it?”!
NOW ON TO THE REVIEW!!!
The Cursed Nile
By S W Lothian
278 pages – ages 9+
Published by CreateSpace on September 28, 2012
JJ, Linc, and Rani are back in an all new adventure! When the Nile mysteriously disappears (yes the whole river disappears), they are called back in time to Ancient Egypt again to bring the Nile back. They later find out that Hapi, the Nile god, was kidnapped and the Nile followed him. The trio’s mission – to find and save Hapi! The enemy – unknown… and very dangerous. Follow the three friends as they set off on a great adventure across ancient Egypt!
The second book in this series is even better than the first (see my review of Book 1 – The Golden Scarab HERE)! Mr. Lothian wrote a great story in a really fun setting – ancient Egypt. This was an exciting book! It has a lot of humor and action! I like that. JJ, Linc and Rani are the same great characters as they were in the first book, but in this one JJ really stood out for me. The new characters in this book were awesome too (especially the lisping sphinx)! The book was written well for kids and it kept me turning the pages from the start. I like the new cover art Mr. Lothian has on both of the books in the series too. I think kids 9+ will enjoy this story!
I give “The Cursed Nile” 5 out of 5 book worms!

Hi Erik,
Thanks so much for your great review. I’m thrilled and really glad that you enjoyed the book.
Here’s a scoop for you ….. The Fallen Pharaoh (Quest 3) will be out within the next couple of months.

Ooh… Is it Khufu? Or Khafre? Hmmm… 😀
I haven’t read these, but I love the new cover art, too. Great job on the pitch on Susanna’s blog! 🙂
Thanks Mrs. Isenhoff! 😀
The Nile disappears — that sounds like a really great action-packed adventure kids will want to get lost in. I remember your first review. It’s nice when the sequel is even better. Good luck with your pitch.
It is an action packed book! 😀
Three Cheers for Steve, so glad that you liked it Erik, we are big fans. Cheers Julie Grasso

Thanks Ms. Hill! 😀
This sounds like an excellent adventure!!
It is excellent, Rhythm!
Do you think Kane Chronicles readers would like this book? Similar?
Yes, I think they will.
I love stories about ancient Egypt – one of my favorite films of all time is Brendan Fraser’s The Mummy. 🙂 Will check out this book. Glad to hear it’s part of a series.
I haven’t seen that movie, but I do love stories about ancient Egypt too!
