Allen Garns.
Hassan, an Egyptian boy, joins Howard Carter's dig to locate King Tut's tomb, but the project's Egyptian foreman doesn't trust this grandson of tomb robbers. Hassan exudes determination, but his personal motivation for wanting to work on the dig isn't clear. Each of the pages is awash in color, with a full-page illustration and spot art on every spread. An author's note gives historical context.
