Third entry in the series about Emily Eyefinger and yes if you have read one of these ten you have seen this before - well anyway it is again another similar collection of tales involving the title character who does amazing things to save the day in all sorts of circumstances with her extraneous eye.

This was a good little read. Only problem I had with it is that archaeologists don’t sell burial and funerary items found in a pyramid, they’re mostly donated to the museums or given to the country they belong to.

Moral of the story: pay our artists - it's rude to ask for free art.

To be honest nowhere near as good as I remember them being 😭

This one wasn’t as good as the others.

Emily has a third eye on the end of her finger which helps her solve puzzles and get out of scrapes—pretty concrete as befits the age level, but cute. 2nd/early 3rd grade level, adventure, more likely to appeal to girls.

Cute children's book. A bit repetitive though, with similar stories/adventures in each chapter.

I thought eye finger was a funny last name.
