Book Review
My adventurous book is called, The Wadjet Eye, by Jill Rubalcaba. The main character in my story is Damon. Damon is an intelligent Egyptian teenager. He lives in the hot and exhausting Alexandria, Egypt.
Damon is 16 years old, and he’s an Egyptian kid. He is a genius; he embalmed his own mother, which would be confusing and nasty. He and his best friend, Artemas, travel the Mediterranean Sea to visit Damon’s father in Spain. His father left when he was a little boy. Damon is very friendly and has many friends. I thought that Damon and Artemas visit to Spain made sense, because his father should have the right to know that his wife died, and also I’m sure that Damon would like to see his father again.
The setting of my story is in Alexandria, Egypt. Damon lives by the Mediterranean Sea, where he swims and fishes with his friends. It’s very hot and sunny; I imagine that it is exhausting, living in such a hot place.
I thought that this book was very adventurous, fun and exciting. The sail on the Mediterranean was the adventurous part and when the almost get sucked in by a whirlpool was the exciting part, and every action in this book makes it fun, and enjoyable. I would totally encourage others to read this book, because it was absolutely awesome.

When they jump off the ship to swim away from the whirlpool, they get surrounded by sharks and the little boy gets eaten up by them. A ship comes and Damon and Artemas wave them over, and now they are saved from the sharks. The ship full of Egyptians is taking them to Spain to visit Damon’s father and Cleopatra.
prediction:I think that the Egyptians arent good people, so they try to kill them.
