Enzo George
A compact historical overview pairs photographs with a timeline, introducing both Qin Shi Huang and the ongoing effort to investigate his tomb without damaging its contents.
Greg Roza
This is an image-led introduction to ossuaries, charnel houses and varied burial traditions, combining photographs with short explanatory features. Expect attention to human bones, unusual customs and cultural difference rather than a narrative plot.
Terry Deary
Expect a lively, irreverent introduction to ancient Egyptian history, moving among pharaohs, pyramids, gods, mummies, writing and ordinary people. The comic approach foregrounds surprising and unpleasant details rather than offering a solemn historical overview.
Andy Seed
Choose this for a child who enjoys ancient Egypt, mysteries and hands-on problem-solving. It offers a story-led route into hieroglyphs and historical information, with the reader actively helping to investigate the crime.
