The Gift of Re, the Adventures of the Whiz Kids

Looking for a hook that would turn things around for four underachieving seventh graders known as the Whiz Kids, their teacher secures a grant that will let them experience an archaeological dig at the Great Pyramids of Giza! Face-to-face with one of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World, Trey, Chloe, Jordan and Rosita finally find a reason to get excited about what they are studying. And as they explore the pyramids with the help of archaeologist Nailah Bahiti, they discover more than just artifacts... The spirits of the pharaohs who built the pyramids pay them a visit and reveal some startling information. Thrust into the middle of an ancient struggle, the Whiz Kids uncover a long-hidden path that will change their lives forever in the thrill-ride adventure, The Gift of Re. Author Bio: Author Hannah Greer has spent over thirty years as an educator. She lives in the beautiful town of Roswell, Georgia, where she founded a middle and high school based on the premise of experiential education. The idea behind The Gift of Re was the result of brainstorming with her students about what would get them interested in learning about history. The Adventures of the Whiz Kids will continue in her next book when the group returns to Egypt and visits the Lighthouse of Alexandria.
