An Egyptian Escape is about a boy called Charlie and his dog Bandit.

It's the second book in the series about these characters. The first story is about Charlie's adventures in Ancient Rome. In this book Charlie travels to 1906 and then to Ancient Egypt with some new friends.

This is a comic book so it was very quick and easy to read. The illustrations were by Emma Dodd. They weren't my favourite type of drawings because I usually like pictures with more detail.

Charlie was quite a good character and the story was exciting, but it was sometimes a bit too silly and I didn't really like some of Charlie's friends very much.

At the end of the book there were some facts about Ancient Egypt. These were quite interesting, but I knew most of them already.

I don't think I'd read more in this series, but it was nice to try this and I quite enjoyed reading it.
