(4) 4-6 Horace J. Edwards and the Time Keepers series. After his grandfather unexpectedly dies, Horace's grandmother mysteriously instructs him to "find the key and help the boy." When a stranger gives Horace a stone scarab beetle that allows him to travel to ancient Egypt, Horace discovers that the future King Tut is in trouble. While the time-travel and magical components of this middle-grade adventure are lackluster, the historical elements are fascinating and insightful.
