Egypt

Travels with Gannon and Wyatt #3

by Patti Wheeler, Keith Hemstreet

Gannon and Wyatt might make the discovery of a lifetime--if they can outlast danger in the land of the pharaohs! After winning a prestigious fellowship from the Youth Exploration Society, Gannon and Wyatt set off on a journey to Egypt. There they study with world-renowned archeologist Dr. Mohammed Aziz, joining him on a quest to find the long lost tomb of the Pharaoh Cleopatra, rumored to hold priceless treasures and secret scrolls containing answers to some of ancient Egypt's greatest mysteries. But Gannon and Wyatt aren't the only ones interested in Cleopatra's secrets. Ruthless tomb robbers are hot on their heels, and the brothers must brave venomous snakes, deadly booby traps, and ancient curses as they find themselves on the verge of a magnificent discovery that could rewrite history. In the tradition of the historic journals kept by explorers such as Lewis and Clark, Dr. David Livingstone, and Captain James Cook comes the adventure series Travels with Gannon & Wyatt. From Africa to the South Pacific, these twin brothers have traveled the world. You never know what they will encounter as they venture into the wild, but one things is certain--wherever Gannon and Wyatt go, adventure is their constant companion. You can find Gannon and Wyatt's blog, photographs, and video footage from their real-life expeditions at travelswithgannonandwyatt.com.

Both my daughter and I enjoyed the third book, Egypt (to be released in January 2014). I personally liked the description of the city of Egypt, its crazy traffic and the vendors all trying to sell something. I also was enamored with the descriptions of the tomb that the three young explorers find. I don’t want to say much more in fear of giving away the ending but if your child is at all interested in pharaohs, tombs and ancient Egypt, he or she will like this book. My 7 year old daughter hasn’t read much about Egypt yet so she had lots of questions about the ancient Egyptians’ beliefs about the afterlife. Evem without that background, she was able to immerse herself in a learning experience that let her explore a foreign country and even era of time without leaving home. I asked her what her favorite part of the book was and she answered: “I like how the brothers fight. That makes it seem real because brothers and sisters fight.” The authors indeed have displayed an authentic brotherly relationship.

I also commend the author for their inclusion of native people in each book. It helped us learn more about native inhabitants like Bedouins in Egypt and cultures we really don’t hear much about. I also applaud the focus on enviromental awareness and conserving what is left of natural climates and habitats, as much of what animals rely on is dwindling quickly.

While these books do serve as excellent learning tools, I was a bit dismayed as to how the boys were portrayed. There’s a couple points where Gannon seems to display signs of autism. I have no problem with autism being portrayed in mainstream media but when you pair that with the fact that the boys are home schooled, it only seems the perpetuate the belief that home schooled children can’t be “normal”. Of course these boys aren’t typically home schooled with their global jet-setting but I do think the book could have done more to normalize the idea of alternative education and take away the stigma that it seems to have. That being said, I do think this series will serve as valuable cultural and geography lessons in various school lesson plans, both traditional and alternative.

Don’t let my opinions deter you from picking up this series for your own young reader.

I received a copy of this book in order to provide a review.

What’s the best way to show a young reader the joys of the world of reading? Give them an easy to read book about the adventures of two characters they can relate to who bring them along on their journey. Travels with Gannon & Wyatt: Egypt by Patti Wheeler and Keith Hemstreet is based on the real-life travels of two boys given the opportunity to travel the world with their parents, told as journal entries made by Gannon and Wyatt. Accepted into the Youth Exploration Society’s Egyptian Antiquities Fellowship program, the boys learn of the rich history of Cairo, explore ancient tombs, seeing and experiencing things in a way far richer than textbook reading or museums could offer. Sharing their thoughts and experiences through their journals is a wonderfully personal way to include the reader on their journey!

Geared to younger readers, this well written story blends entertainment and learning in a remarkably magnetic way! The book moves along smoothly and the “voices” of each of the boys comes through with the sense of adventure and excitement they are feeling. I received an ARC edition from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

I'm not sure how to rate these: 2 stars for adult readers, but 4 stars for ten-year-old boys. This middle grade adventure series will not appeal to adults who like Kid Lit, but it fulfills its intentions--to suck in 9-12 year olds with stories of exploration.

[Kailey (Luminous Libro) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Once again, Gannon and Wyatt are exploring the world, this time in Egypt, as they search for the lost tomb of Cleopatra. They are up against superstition, tomb robbers, booby traps, false trails, and their own fears and doubts as they embark on this dramatic adventure.

I love the brotherly camaraderie between the twins, Gannon and Wyatt, and how they tease each other, annoy each other, but ultimately rely on each other through thick and thin. They have a grudging respect for one another, even though they have such different personalities.

The action really takes off in this book, with the plot moving forward rapidly and danger around every corner. The mysterious Egyptian setting is described in detail revealing the beauties of the history and culture. I love how each book takes the time to show local people in their every day lives, as well as the adventure.

Another great book in the series!

My eight-year-old son loves this series and he absolutely loved this book. I enjoyed it too as it included a bit about modern Cairo (it is surprisingly hard to show kids that Egypt isn't just a thing of the past) and a super fun adventure story.

The descriptions in this book were very good.

[Beyond the Pages with Eva K · Rating 5 out of 5]

Travels with Gannon and Wyatt: Egypt was a remarkable read! I loved it. It captured my attention right away and kept it.

Written in a journal style format, this book described the travels and adventures experienced by two homeschooled siblings who were awarded with a trip to Egypt. On this once-in-a-lifetime archeological excursion, each brother gave his perspective on what they saw, felt, thought, and learned along the way.

From the moment Gannon and Wyatt were introduced, I was intrigued. They seemed to be smart, playful, goal-oriented, and driven. They each shared an obvious interest in the same things, but at the same time, they had their own individual interests. They were confident in their own way, but they also had their own area of insecurity. Not a weakness, simply a vulnerability. They excelled, but they also struggled in a sense and this made them both likable and authentic.

The author did a superb job of weaving in academics. Not only did I get to learn basic Arabic, but I also got a chance to witness what an actual reciprocal exchange between the boys and different people from that region would have sounded like. She included written and visual examples of introduced language, which piqued my interest. Additionally, I got to learn interesting facts about Egypt and its culture. I learned about everything from food to marketplace bazaars to haggling to the great pyramids and more.

I must say that I loved how Wheeler included pictures in her book. I also appreciated how she referenced real resources in her writing. This was outstanding on so many levels and for so many reasons.

The movement and flow in this book was great. There was never a lull nor a hiccup. Wheeler consistently built up energy with her writing. As such, I became more and more curious about what would come next.

The characters in this book were so interesting. I found myself wanting to learn as much about them as I could. I loved the diversity.

All in all, this was a tremendous read. Wheeler did a masterful job. I would easily read any other books offered in this series. I have no doubts that others will enjoy this adventure story.

On to the next Gannon and Wyatt adventure. Bring it on!

Rating: 5/5
Recommend: Yes
Bookshelf Worthy: Yes!
Audience Appeal: High
Target: Grade 5 and higher
Options: I could totally see this book used as a study support or supplement.. Educators could use this book (and likely this series) to inspire and encourage kids to dream big and to pursue their interests. This book would be a great tool to teach kids about how to research. It could serve as a vocabulary builder. It could be a means of introducing world geography and cultures. It could be a starter for learning another language. It might be used to talk about choices or safety when traveling, or sibling/family relationships. There are unlimited possibilities!

Quick Summary: An excellent and highly educational read for any aspiring adventurer, Egyptologist, archeologist, or would-be traveler

Final Words: Get this book!

I was fortunate enough to receive a complimentary e-book copy of this title from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The words I have expressed are my own. I was not asked to write a positive review. I was not compensated in any way for my shared opinion.

Wyatt and Gannon are twin brothers who have applied to and won a prestigious fellowship from the Youth Exploration Society. A fellowship which is granted to only four students a year. The brothers have totally different personalities. Wyatt is studious, with a scientific outlook and has a maturity beyond his years. Gannon likes pranks, is slightly superstitious, and has a devil may care attitude. Yet each enjoys the adventures and mysteries to be found in life and are not shy about pursuing their passion. Being home schooled they are able to take the month off to explore Egypt. Their father, a sculptor will be staying in Egypt during their time there.


Wyatt and Gannon meet the other two students, James from Australia and Serene from Egypt at the airport when Dr Aziz welcomes them and their father upon their arrival. A short visit the next day to the bazaar for souvenirs before they take off to the site, while Wyatt finds all he is wanting, Gannon does not until just before it is time to return to the hotel. A small sop off the beaten path draws him and as he talks to the owner he tells them of their plans to search for Cleopatra's tomb. Asking for something special to buy the man takes them out the back and through a maze of alleys and backstreets to show them his private collection. He hands Gannon a piece of tile and tells them about his grandfather an archeologist who disappeared years before. He tells the boys his grandfather told him it came from Cleopatra's tomb. He gives the tile to Gannon after making him promise to honor the site and history if they should discover it is indeed the final resting place of Egypt's most famous female pharaoh.


With curses, poisonous snakes and deadly traps Wyatt and Gannon must travel a perilous path as they work with the Doctor to excavate the site and find proof on whose body resides there. Travels With Gannon and Wyatt: Egypt offers many tidbits about Cairo, Minya and other sites around Egypt. You can imagine the scenes and sounds in your mind and as you close your eyes you can even smell the scents to be had there. With pictures to accent the story to be found peppered through out the novel. This book is a joy for all who read it no matter the age. I found the characters likable and and endearing. I am sure you will as well. Gannon and Wyatt have other adventures as well for you to enjoy. Take a moment to pick up and explore the world with Gannon and Wyatt.

Travels of Wyatt and Gannon: Egypt

Travels with Wyatt and Gannon series
Action/Adventure
Juvenile


Review: Wyatt and Gannon are off an adventure to Egypt. This time they have won the chance to participate in an archaeological dig to try and find Cleopatra’s grave. They will have to survive severe desert conditions and those who would destroy everything they have worked for.
I really want to like this series, but I feel they just get sillier each time. Of course this one did have some high points as well as it’s low points. First let me tell you what I enjoyed about this book. Again, I love the pictures in the story, but this one I have to say has fewer pictures because of the type of adventure they were on. I also like how the boys learn lessons from interacting with the people and culture around them. It’s nice to learn about another culture without feeling like you are reading a text book.
The thing I did not like about this story was the fact that it made no sense to me. This next part is a mild spoiler so skip this paragraph if you do not want to read about what happens to Wyatt and Gannon before reading the story or if you have not read the Great Bear Forest Book. So in the Great Bear Gannon almost dies and then is okay. He even wants to continue to look for his parents or at least have the people with him leave him alone in the middle of the forest to continue to search. Okay maybe this is the case, but then how he acts in this book makes no sense. He is a little nervous about going into a tomb because he might be cursed, again maybe this is understandable if he is superstitious. The part I don’t understand is how easily he decides to give up. Yes he does have a traumatic experience while in the tomb, but he comes out of it without a scratch and runs back to the city. This makes no sense to me since he was fine after almost dying in the last story. Of course he does go back, but the point is he does almost give up which does not seem like the Gannon we have been introduced to in the first two stories.
That being said I still think this book has some amazing parts and is worth reading. I recommend this book to young action/adventure fans. I also recommend this to boys who are reluctant readers. Plus check out the boys’ website to learn more about them and their adventures for more ways to get boys interested in reading.


I received a free ecopy of this book from Netgalley for my honest opinion.

Travels with Gannon & Wyatt is a middle-grade adventure series, written by Patti Wheeler and Keith Hemstreet. I have to say, I love adventure books! I have since I was young. There is something about a crazy adventure that always has me on the edge of my seat wanting to read more. Luckily, my kids inherited my love for adventure!

This series definitely does not disappoint. It is written in a journal format, following brothers Gannon and Wyatt as they travel the world. One of the most appealing parts of this book for me (besides the content, which was wonderful!) was the fact that these boys are homeschoolers. They have gone above and beyond what they study by traveling to these places. Learning anything and everything they can along the way.

The three books in the series follow their travels in Botswana, the Great Bear Rainforest, and Egypt. My kids were most excited to start on the Egypt book because we have been studying Ancient Egypt during the past couple of months.

Egypt starts off with Gannon and Wyatt being accepted into the Youth Exploration Society’s Egyptian Antiquities Fellowship. They, along with their parents (a flight attendant and artist) all make the trip to Egypt together. I really enjoy the motherly vibe I get from the book, stressing the importance of learning and being grateful for the opportunities that we have. The beginning of the book concentrates on their learning about Cairo and some of its history. Then the adventure begins! I don’t want to give too much away, but the kids really enjoyed the fast pace of this book. And, again, the journal format was easy to read to them. They felt like they were really in the story.

Overall I think this is an amazing series. It is incredibly wholesome and has many wonderful underlying messages like the health of our environment and education in general. I would definitely recommend this book to parents for their kids!

Thank you Greenleaf Book Group for sponsoring this post. Click here to check out the Travels with Gannon and Wyatt book series.



As any casual reader of chasing my Bees can tell, we are a seriously bookish family. When my lovely friends at the Clever Girls Collective had an opportunity to review a middle-grade adventure book series, I hopped right on board.




Greenleaf Book Group has published two Travels with Gannon & Wyatt books so far: an adventure in Botswana, and one in the Great Bear Rainforest. In January, 2014, the latest book, featuring real-life twins, will be published- Gannon & Wyatt in Egypt!




All three of my Bees enjoyed the Travels books. My 9-year old read them outloud to his 4-year old sister, and their middle sister, a 7-year old emerging reader, read all three books on her own. I asked my son, a fourth-grader, to write his own review of the Gannon & Wyatt series. Like a true word nerd, he jumped at the chance to evangelize for his new favorite books. (He's a certified genius child, but he's crap with spelling. I'm typing his report exactly as he wrote it. Because I think it's adorable. I'm such a weird mom.)




Travels with Gannon & Wyatt, by The Boy
Gannon and Wyatt: Egypt is an adventure about two boys who travel to Egipt. While there there, they and two other kids go to search for Queen Cleopatra's tomb. While only three got to see it.
Overall, the Adventures with Gannon and Wyatt series is a thrilling adventure! My personal thought is that Patti Wheeler and Keith Hemstreet should make more books. I also hope that the REAL Gannon and Wyatt also keep going on adventures!! Last but not least:
THE WORLD IS OUR CLASSROOM!!!



So, we're working on his essay skills.
But, it was clear from my kids' enthusiasm (and the resulting conversations about when we are going to the rainforest), the Travels series is a hit.

[Suzanne · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fans of movies like "The Mummy" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" will love the story of the twins and their trip to Egypt. When Gannon and Wyatt get the chance to work with a famous archaeologist on his dig, they can't believe they are actually searching for the lost tomb of Cleopatra. Just visiting the city of Cairo itself is an adventure with the architecture, haggling in the marketplace, and the mixture of donkey carts in downtown traffic alongside cars and trucks. Once the boys get to the dig site, they get to work alongside Dr. Aziz, his grad student assistant, and two other teenagers who have been chosen to be part of the team.

Descriptions of desert storms, the grueling work of excavating ruins in the sand, the foods like falafels and flat bread, the descriptions of the extreme temperature differences between day and night all bring to life the tough conditions historians work in at these sites. Even with modern equipment like radar scans, there is still a lot of educated guesses and luck involved.

Another thing about all the books in the series is the way the boys' mother always finds somewhere to volunteer in each place they visit. Whether it is helping to repair a whale watching station damaged by a storm (Great Bear Rainforest), or teaching English to children in a local school as she does in this story, she always finds a way to join in the local community. And their father takes the opportunity to study local art and artists for inspiration with his own work. It really is a learning experience for their whole family wherever they go.

If you haven't tried one of these books yet, this may be a great one to start with - ancient pharaohs, possibly cursed tombs, mummies - it has a lot to offer.

I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley.

This is the third in the series of Gannon and Wyatt adventures and it is a pip. Following in the path of the first two adventures in this series, EGYPT is another daring tasks that the intrepid twins embark upon. Suited for the 9 to 15 year age group, EGYPT is filled with mysterious old shopkeepers, forbidden curses from the mummy’s tomb, bad guys and heroes, shards of ancient pottery that are clues which might lead the pair to Cleopatra’s hidden burial site. Chock full of photos to illustrate what the twins are experiencing, introducing the reader to the mysteries of Egypt, the people and the culture, this book is a wonderful introduction to an ancient, yet modern, civilization.
This book, along with the preceding two tales, is an offshoot of the travels of the real life Wyatt and Gannon. Told by using journal entries of the fictionalized brothers as alternating chapters to tell the story, the book give both the scientific, down-to-earth view of Wyatt in contrast to the emotional, seat=of-your-pants adventuring of his brother. Together they make a fun and exciting reading experience.
When I won this through the Goodreads site, I didn’t expect to receive all three of the published tales of these two, but they were all of similar quality, style and with enough surprises to carry any reader through to the final pages and wonder about the next journey. These books should inspire the young armchair traveler to get out and do things as well as those of a more scientific bent to explore beyond the walls of their schools.

This books is actually coming out in January 2014, so we got to review it as a sneak peek! Everyone in my family gravitates to the Egyptian history and culture, so it was fun to read this with her. In this particular book, Gannon and Wyatt set off on a journey to Egypt. These twin brothers study with archeologist Dr. Mohammed Aziz and join him on an adventure to find the long lost tomb of the Pharaoh Cleopatra. Cleopatra (whose name was hard for my daughter to read) apparently had some treasures and ancient secrets. The twin brothers have a rough time trying to reach their goal of finding Cleopatra, because they meet many obstacles along the way. The story kept you wanting to read more and wanting to see if the boys would find what they needed to possibly make a discovery that could rewrite history. It definitely held our attention, and we loved being with Gannon and Wyatt on this journey! My 6-year old son was interested in listening to the story as well. I was actually a little skeptical at first as to whether or not my daughter would want to read these (from the cover they seem geared more towards boys), so I was pleasantly surprised when she gave them a chance and actually got engaged with reading them and even liked them! I guess you truly can’t judge a book by it’s cover!

No destination is too large or too dangerous for Gannon and Wyatt—the two youngest, bravest, and adventurous explorers in children’s fiction. In Travels with Gannon and Wyatt Egypt, these two daring, charismatic, and humorous boys return to conquer another continent. They wind up facing some of their toughest obstacles, yet, but as usual they are up for the challenge. This installment reads like an Indiana Jones adventure for kids, full of action and mystery, as well as interesting facts about another piece of the world young readers can enjoy vicariously through the pages of a book. Like the growing collection of the Travels with Gannon and Wyatt series, this story offers an appealing reading experience geared toward young readers that cannot be found anywhere else. TWGW Egypt shines with fun, funny, and purposeful writing that will especially hook and hold the attention of kids in the 9-12 year-old range.

[David Caldwell · Rating 3 out of 5]

Gannon and Wyatt are real twins who have gotten to travel all over the world. They decided they wanted to share their experiences with other kids. They came up with stories loosely based on their travels. They have also co-founded a society to encourage young explorers. Wyatt wants to be a scientist and is very logical. Gannon on the other hand is more interested in meeting new people and learning about their cultures.

This time the boys get to go on an archeological dig looking for Cleopatra.They will have to deal with booby traps, earthquakes, and tomb robbers along the way.

This series is geared towards younger readers, so might not fully engage adult readers. It is fun and informative, even if it is presented like a Saturday morning kid's show (and yes I know I am showing my age with that reference).Perfect for pre-teen and teens interested in travel and adventures.

[Clare O'Beara · Rating 4 out of 5]

The twins are off exploring and adventuring in the land of pharaohs and pyramids. Having won a month's stay with an archaeological dig, the lads head off excitedly, and we read their individual journals, while their parents who work for an airline rearrange schedules to accompany them for free.

Dr. Mohammad Aziz is the friendly professor in charge of the boys, and they are sharing work with James from Australia and Serene from Egypt. Gannon is ever so slightly worried about the curse that is said to follow those who open a tomb....

Booby traps, tomb robbers, camels and Bedouins populate this lively book, while one of the lads learns that a spirit of adventure is not enough to keep you going when times get tough. Cairo is well contrasted with the ruins in the empty desert and the locals are - mostly - friendly, but we get cautions about wandering off, as well.
Great read!

This advance reader copy book was given to me by the publisher at the November aasl conference in Connecticut for review in exchange for an honest review.

I must say that the Egypt adventure impressed me more than the Botswana adventure. It still seemed like an adventure trying to be a biography or a biography trying to be and adventure story but the story line was a little more realistic so that the vying viewpoints weren't too distracting. There was quite a bit of factual information to learn which almost made it seem like this was a magic treehouse adventure for an older audience. I think that this series could settle into a niche audience if the authors could continue to either tone down the biographical nature or the adventure nature of the book.

[TomSS · Rating 2 out of 5]

Unfortunately, I found this book to be the weakest in the Travels With Gannon and Wyatt series. I love a good archaeological adventure but most books in this genre tend to get bogged down in too much implausible high tech or too many cliche events. This book is one of the latter. Without giving away any details, this story uses the same plot device that was probably old when H. Rider Haggard used it in King Solomon's Mines and has been used again repeatedly in many archaeological adventure books/movies since then. Hoping that the next book in the series returns to form.

[Dionne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Adventure books have always been a favorite of mine. I'm usually partial to the books written for younger people since they are usually a little more upbeat and I was not disappointed with this one.

I like the use of common Arabic phrases and references to the local culture, which is fascinating to me. There are little photographs here and there to give a peek into applicable parts of the book.

The banter between the brothers is great and the story moves at a great pace. This is a great read for "kids" of any age that enjoy a good adventure book.

[Angela · Rating 4 out of 5]

I won this book as a first-reads (Thanks, Goodreads!). This book is written in journal format, and I would say it is probably intended for kids 10-12. The series is about twin brothers who travel the world and have adventure, and it is loosely based on the real travels of these boys.

In this book they travel to Egypt (obviously), as winners of archaeology fellowships, and help an archaeologist search for the tomb of Cleopatra. The book is full of adventure.

It doesn't take long to read, and I think my seven-year-old son will really get into it.

[Bill · Rating 5 out of 5]

Searching for the lost tomb of Cleopatra, Gannon and Wyatt had little idea they would be surrounded by grave robbers, nearly swept away by a sandstorm and almost buried in an earthquake – do they survive to face other adventures?

You’ll have to read this action packed, page turner to find out – and you’ll also discover the strange magic of Cairo and the haunting dangers of the dessert, along with the excitement of discovery.

This is another outstanding adventure tale – Hardy Boys – move over!

I read chapters out loud to my family after dinner and although they pretend they are bored they still wanted to know what happened if they missed a day of my reading. The little kiddos stop me periodically to ask what a word means, which to me says success because the books we read are usually above the little kids level purposely to expand their vocabulary. Since I am have always wanted to travel to Egypt and love mysteries this was a win/win for me.
