"I am reading this story to my sixth graders. They are quite pleased. They like the characters and it gives the study of the ancient world a bit of glamor and interest that it might otherwise not have. Of course the book is easy enough for them to read it to themselves but this book has created interest in historical fiction which did not exist before. Several students want to borrow the book."

Mystery of the Egyptian Amulet Adventure Books For Kids Age 912 Kid Detective Zet Scott Peters 9780985985219 Books Reviews

• This book, which is the second of the Zet stories, offers main characters who are developed far beyond the usual for a middle grade mystery, as well as an intriguing and fast paced mystery/adventure. But where the book truly excels is in its ancient Egyptian setting.
  
  The story is set in the time and place of fabulous and romantic New Kingdom Egypt. Scott Peters has written other works for kids that explore ancient Egypt, (and mummies!), and he has seamlessly drawn all of that scholarship into the sights, sounds, colors, and feel of his Zet mysteries. The history and the descriptions of everyday life and conditions are introduced subtly and naturally in the context of the telling of the adventure story. We learn about what people ate and wore and worked at even as we investigate a sort of Hardy Boys style mystery
  
  For starters, we get two kids, Zet and Kat, (a brother and sister team), who are relatable and appealing and yet clearly of their time and circumstance. Then we add friends and family and neighbors. Merimose the local medjay, (policeman), is a regular character, as are a few of Zet and Kat's fellow stall keepers in the local market. This is all presented in broad brushstrokes which keeps it interesting and entertaining even while it is informative in a general and impressionistic way. The fact that there is a mystery, thefts, talk of demons, and loads of chases and a big action finish, just keeps the excitement and interest level high all of the way through to the satisfying conclusion. Because the overall writing style is direct and basic it seems that it best lends itself to being read by kids moving beyond chapter books but not quite ready for more demanding fare.
  
  So, a very happy and rewarding find with a lot of middle grade reader appeal. A very nice book to recommend.
  
  Please note that I found this book while browsing freebies. I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.

• This review is actually by my 9 year-old daughter...
  
  I loved "Zet and the Egyptian Amulet Mystery." It was an enjoyable and fast paced book. In "Zet and the Egyptian Amulet Mystery", a boy (Zet)'s friend goes to work making jewelry; meanwhile Zet and his sister Kat are missing a shipment of pottery for their stand. There are rumors going around that a demon army will invading during the upcoming Opet Festival.Will the demons really come? And will Zet and Kat get their order before their stand is shut down? Find out by reading "Zet and the Egyptian Amulet Mystery!"
• I wish this book had been around when I was a youth reader. I enjoyed it as an adult and I am sure youth will too. Plenty of adventure and working out the clues to come to a conclusion. Order one for a young person in your life and one for yourself too!
• Review from the 9 year old reader My review is it was a great book and it is a nice adventure to go on with Zet. Also it is a very good book for 9-12 yrs old.
• My 7-year old and I have been reading this one chapter at a time. We aren't done yet, as he is reading it to me and I assist with any words he has problems with, but he enjoys it very much so far and will ask if we can read the mystery book. -)
• Ancient Egypt, secrets, mysteries, demon ghosts, golden scarabs and Secret Agent Zet -- a great combination. This new book by Scott Peters is a fun read. Scott really knows his subject and its great to follow Zet and Kat through the dark temples, narrow alleys, and bustling marketplaces of ancient Egypt as they try to solve a mystery before danger strikes again.
• I choose this rating because it was definatly one of my better reads. I just loved how this story kept my guessing just about the entire time!! I would have to reccomend this book, as well as the entire Secret Agent Zet series, to any one who is interested in mystery stories.
