Princeton Review: Archaeology Smart Junior: Discovering History's Buried Treasure

by Karen Laubenstein

If you have ever day-dreamed about discovering a lost city that no one ever knew existed, or finding a set of ancient footprints and trying to solve the mystery of who (or what) left them, then this is the book for you.

When Beauregard the cat digs up a bag full of ancient artifacts stolen by the evil Dastardly Looter, it's up to him and his friends Barnaby, Bridget, and Babette to return them to their proper places before they are cuaght by the sinister thief.  Hop aboard their time machine and visit ancient worlds, mysterious ruins, and famous archaeological digs.

Not only is Archaeology Smart Junior an exciting story, it also tells how archaeologists find and study the clues that tell us all about prehistoric eras.  You'll be getting a head start on the science courses you'll take in high school by learning how scientists think and work as they solve the puzzles of the past.
