When I asked Eli if he would be interested in reviewing Books 3 & 4 from the The Secret of the Hidden Scrolls Series from WorthyKids, an imprint of Hachette Book Group the answer was an emphatic yes. He really enjoyed the first two books in the series and was excited to get the chance to read the next 2:
We reviewed the first two books last fall. You can read that review here.

After fleeing from a pyramid and a sarcophagus, they were befriend by the Princess Shephara. She took the two of them back to her home the palace. It is there that Peter and Mary first meet Joseph, an Israelite slave.

However, before the final plaque Peter and Mary were led to the home of Moses. It was there that they were saved from the final plaque.
The kids were able to journey with the Israelites of Egypt and safely across the Red Sea before the end of the book
