This work takes readers to Lilliput and beyond! Ship's surgeon
Lemuel Gulliver's mishaps and adventures just get stranger and
stranger! This engaging story is presented as an exciting and
fast-paced graphic novel which remains faithful to Jonathan Swift's
original text. Specially commissioned full-colour artwork brings
excitement and atmosphere to this classic tale. Speech bubbles work
with the main text to emphasise and enhance the retelling. A
running glossary at the foot of each page helps young readers with
any challenging vocabulary without disrupting their reading
experience. The highly visual nature of comic book storytelling,
small amounts of text and easy-to-follow sequential ordering of the
picture strips are a brilliant way for young readers who're
challenged or intimidated by reading to improve their literacy
skills.
The year is 1922. English archaeologist, Howard Carter, lights a
candle to look inside the tomb he has found, and sees something no
one had seen for 3000 years. He has found Tutankhamun's tomb. And
everywhere he looks, is the glint of gold! But who is Tutankhamun?
And how did he live? Just like Carter, you'll discover the secrets
of the 'boy king', who became pharaoh of Egypt when he was just
eight years old. You'll also explore ideas about how Tutankhamun
died and what happened to his tomb in the 3000 years before Carter
discovered it. But what's that about a curse, you ask? Read on, if
you dare... Tutankhamun: Search for the Lost Pharaoh is part of the
