“Mo has won a very special prize: an Ancient Egypt sleepover in a museum. However, he has no clue how dangerous it will turn out to be. With a mystery to solve, hieroglyphic codes to crack and priceless treasure to save, one thing is for sure: Mo will not be getting any sleep tonight!”.
The Ancient Egypt Sleepover consists of twenty-one short chapters, perfect for reading aloud in class. It is thrilling but also realistic, making it the go-to fiction choice for primary school teachers covering Ancient Egypt in KS2 history.
It was very funny and exciting and I loved it. It made me feel like I want to be in the same experience even though it would be dangerous. I hope to read it again. I just love to read.😊🤩😻😙😎🙀💕
Read this in the hope of using it to inspire year 4 writing, but felt a bit underwhelmed by it. A couple of more descriptive chapters about Tut’s tomb and hieroglyphs. I found the storyline a bit quick and lacking development, also wasn’t a fan of the children & museum staff being given drugged hot chocolate!!
It’s not that I didn’t like it, but I’m not sure I did like it. It wasn’t fully what I was expecting. I did enjoy the fact side and learning all of the history facts. I had this feeling throughout that I had already read it or something similar.
I read this during the summer hols to prepare reading comprehension questions, and thoroughly enjoyed it! I liked the quick pace, humour and links to history. I think my year 4’s will enjoy this!
I read this book with my Year 3 class and they absolutely loved it. Lots of exciting moments and lots of opportunity for deep thinking. The author leaves lots of clues throughout and the children loved predicting what would happen and then gasping when they found out. Would definitely recommend as a whole class read aloud!
