This story is about uncovering the Tomb of King Tutankhamen. The author uses great rhyme scheme to capture young readers' attention. The book is broken into different chapters to show a timeline of events. The first chapter starts out with King Tutankhamen being alive and the story ends with a major character uncovering his tomb and finding the lost treasure that was buried within. This would be a story a teacher can use to talk about how chapter books can be in the form of poetry. (
