The Plot on the Pyramid, Terry Deary
The Great Pyramid is a lively place to work. The only irritation is Antef, the fussy, bullisome supervisor who makes everyone feel more like slaves than free workers: so much so that they end up going on strike to protest against him! When Antef disappears, the workers are blamed. The only witness is Dafia, but she stays silent to protect her father. However, she decides to come up with a plan to clear the men's names, and the only way to do that is to prove that Antef is alive. But how?

The Gold in the Grave, Terry Deary
Tutankhamen has been buried in his rocky tomb. But there is a plot to rob the grave of its vast wealth as soon as possible after the funeral. A motley gang of villains have all the skills they need to undertake the crime - the key member of the team is young Paneb, who is small and lithe and the only one who can slip through the tunnel and into the funeral chamber. It's a risky venture, because, if he's caught, the punishment is slow torture and death.

Boudicca (Brilliant Brits)

An entertaining romp through a little bit of Roman Britain, illuminated by Richard Brassey's meticulous research, interesting illustrations and super speech bubbles. History has probably never been quite so accessible, fun and interesting.
