(3) 4-6 In this sequel to Skullduggery, young Matthew accompanies his employer, phrenologist Asa Cornwall, to the Sahara, where they hope to find the skull of Alexander the Great. When they're captured by slave traders, Matthew concocts a showy ruse to engineer their release. The dangers and beauty of the Saharan setting are evocatively described in this nineteenth-century historical adventure.
