Praise for TombQuest Book 1: Book of the Dead: "Like a preteen Indiana Jones and Lara Croft, Alex and Ren make a compelling duo, and Northrop balances pathos and action effectively to engage readers. Funny and smart, Alex and Ren are excellent companions for this fast-paced and scorpion-filled ride."-- Kirkus Reviews"A thrilling adventure rich in Egyptian mythology and magic... Sure to be a blockbuster." -- Booklist"Nonstop action... reluctant readers will enjoy the fast-paced story and the accompanying interactive computer game, and they will look forward to future installments." -- Voice of Youth Advocates"The plot moves quickly and will appeal to reluctant readers looking for adventure [and] danger." -- School Library Journal
