A simple day at the museum turns into to an edge-of-your-seat roller-coaster ride into the past. A museum Mummy in deep distress recruits JJ Sterling, and his best buddy, Linc, to head back in time to Ancient Egypt. Along with new pal, Rani, it's up to the three of them to locate the mysterious Golden Scarab and save history.
A long-time feud between two ancient brothers, Seth and Horus, looks set to end the fragile peace in Egypt. It's time for our young heroes to rise up and conquer evil. Their perilous quest leads them on a race through scorching deserts, and temples full of amazing hidden chambers that are bursting with unexpected traps. All the while, an army of living statues called Uberdiles are determined to stop them.
If the three kids fail, the impact on the future would be a disaster for everyone ... including you.
Once you've caught your breath, you'll be busting to get your teeth into The Cursed Nile (Quest 2), The Fallen Pharaoh (Quest 3), and The Missing Link (Quest 4 - due in early 2015).

This book was given to me through Basically Books ARR Readers Corner by the author, thank you.(view spoiler)[I hate to say this, but I couldnt finish The Golden Scarab. I barely got one quarter of the way through it and just had to stop. My mind wouldnt stop straying. The book did not keep my attention in the least. The book is written in a narrative style and has loads and loads and loads of description with hardly any dialogue or action. Pretty much all I can say about the book is that itsGreat book for 8 - 14yr olds. Some great history facts entwined into the story and it doesn't weigh the story down. Its a good mystery adventure story that I kept reading. Easy read too.
JJ is absolutely ordinary. His friend Linc is pretty normal, especially with his love of food and adventure, probably in that order! So how come a statue in a museum starts talking to them?This is a time travel adventure, where JJ and his friend are invited to go on a Quest and are magically transported back to ancient Egypt by the god Horus. There they meet Rani, also transported back in time, but from Aswan. I was never quite clear what era Rani was from, but it didn't seem to matter. They
JJ and his friend Linc, are appealed to by the Egyptian god Anubis to save the world. They travel to Ancient Egypt where they are teamed up with Rani and together all three are given instructions about their mission: stop the Egyptian god Seth from getting his evil powers and controlling all of Egypt, and subsequently, the rest of the world. Together, we race with the young heroes, hoping that they would succeed in their quests. Their enemy is powerful, and there are minions who do his bidding
Loved it! :)
*this review is for an older version of the book*I got this book for free, in exchange of an honest review, from Making Connections. Get your copy here.What I liked about it:it is a good book for pre-teens because it read like a written version of the movie, The Mummy.the story isn't overly longMau is the cutestenjoyed the information included about different Egyptian deitiesWhat I didn't like:stuff that bothered me but probably wouldn't bother a 12yo, like:the kids getting used to the powers
The Golden Scarab is book one in the Quest Series. J.J. is 12 years old. My students will identify with him because they are also middle graders. J.J.'s father is the head curator at a museum. His family visits the museum one day and J.J. wanders into an Egyptian exhibit. The statue of Anubis begins to talk with J.J. He is the protector of the mummy at the museum. He challenges J.J. to find a friend and travel through time to find the Golden Scarab. This scarab will save Egypt from Seth, an evil
