Book Reviews of Bone Dry
Book Review: Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best book (from the Teen section of the library) that I've read in a long time. Actually, ever. That's how good it was. If you know the "Dirk Pitt" books by Clive Cussler, you'll recognize some similarities here. Matthew Morrisey is like a fourteen-year old Dirk Pitt, set in the 1840's. This book has it all - evil bad guys, incredible adventure, and a really terrifying climax. It's been a while since I've read a book where I wasn't sure whether or not the good guy was going to make it...But anyway, this is a great book. I think everyone should read it.
Summary of Bone Dry
It is said that the Sahara Desert swallows the past. For Matthew Morrissey and his mentor, the eminent phrenologist Dr. Asa B. Cornwall, there's also the danger of its swallowing their present. In their search for the skull of Alexander the Great, Matthew and Dr. ABC journey across the Great Sand Sea in a camel caravan unaware of the perils-both human and otherworldly-that await them. Overtaken by slave traders, Matthew and the doctor must call upon all of their knowledge and wit to save themselves and some unfortunate others from disaster.Ancient Civilizations Books
