The story: You'd think being immortal would rock--unless you're stuck being 14 years old for the rest of eternity! Tut has sat through 8th grade a couple hundred times over the years--but this round looks to be something way out of the ordinary: his most hated enemy from the past, the evil Horemheb, has managed to get out of the prison where Tut sealed him up 3,000 years ago, and he's out for blood. But not just any blood! Only Tut's will do.

Liz' comments: This book will appeal to fans of Rick Riordan's books. However, I found it fairly tiresome--Tut spends the entire book focused on revenge, even when it's abundantly obvious that seeking vengeance will just come back and bite you on the butt, and not even in the distant future. Maybe most 14-year-olds will identify with this kind of single-mindedness, but I just thought it made him look too dumb to learn a lesson. Oh well. The kids will like it.
