Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx is the very definition of charming. I love that the story follows directly behind the previous rather than jumping through other ancestors first (it's cute to see Arthur as a dad!). The art is, of course, stunning! You can really tell that Todd-Stanton was a kid fond of the maps & cutaways that featured in books like Eloise (hard same, my dude, hard same). These addition, to me at least (with my big old 90's nostalgia glasses) give the story an old-school adventure feel in the best way. I can unequivocally say that small child Darcy would have loved this book with both hands (& large child Darcy does too). Really good book my favourite thing about this book is the illustrations. Such good drawings. Things hidden places and a really good story

Kids will love this exciting excavation of ancient Egyptian myths as they follow along with the clever Marcy on a quest to save her dad from the belly of the sphinx! Many years have passed since the tale of Arthur and the Golden Rope, and Arthur is now a world-famous adventurer. If only his daughter Marcy shared his enthusiasm for exploration...

My son and I love the step by step illustrations of Marcy as she takes to reach her destination like the picture below or how she travels through the maze of obstacles to rescue her dad. The illustration of Egypt is an eyeful. There are lots of Egypt history to look at. It could have been helpful if there were names next to each picture.
