CodeQuest series.
Illustrated by
Jurgen Ziewe.
Fictional archaeologist Cameron Stone, accompanied by a mysterious woman, finds himself solving a puzzle involving lost tombs and ancient artifacts. He follows clues written in hieroglyphs (which readers are taught to decipher) that may lead to ancient treasure. The crowded pages contain numerous photographs and illustrations with explanatory text. A CD-ROM that converts standard text into hieroglyph font is included.
