About the book
WILL YOU DISCOVER THE SECRET OF THE PYRAMIDS? You are in Egypt to help your uncle Bruce with his scientific experiments. You are investigating a theory that the ancient pyramids possess strong mystical powers. You have just entered the Great Pyramid. An underground tunnel leads you to a dark and mysterious chamber. You are the first person to discover it. Is this a clue to the secret of the Pyramids -- or a room of danger? If you decide to explore the chamber, turn to page 24. If you decide to get help from the men outside the pyramid, turn to page 90. What happens next in the story? It all depends on the choices you make. You might fall into the Well of the Ancients, or be trapped inside a cursed tomb. Or you might run into assassins who are out to get you! How does the story end? Only you can find out! And the best part is that you can keep reading and rereading until you've had not one, but many incredibly daring experiences!
