Kids will love this exciting excavation of ancient Egyptian myths as they follow along with the clever Marcy on a quest to save her dad from the belly of the sphinx! This is worthy continuation on Todd-Stanton's basic premise and it enriches the tapestry he has begun to put together. I like the fact that he uses Arthur yet again, albeit as starting point to set Marcy's story into motion, just as very much appreciate Marcy as the book's protagonist. It ensures both continuity of and expansion upon what has already been introduced and established. This is the second book in Joe Todd-Stanton's book series Brownstone's Mythical Collection, which is situated in the liminal zone between picture books and comics.

The reader is once again welcomed by professor Brownstone, but this time he is in the Brownstone family's observatory, and is set to tell the story of Marcy Brownstone (daughter of Arthur Brownstone, the first Brownstone and protagonist of Arthur and the Golden Rope), who is afraid of many things and wonders if she is really an adventurer (like her father and mother). Yet when her father disappears, Marcy figures out that he has hone to Egypt, and she sets out to find him ... and save him.

In questo secondo capitolo della serie dei Brownstone, troveremo come protagonista Marcy, la figlia di Arthur. Such a fun follow up to Arthur and the Golden Rope! Arthur has grown up, married, and become a father while still managing to be an avid adventurer. He notices that his daughter Marcy is hesitant to explore the world, so he sets off mysteriously to obtain a book in Egypt for her. Kids will love this exciting excavation of ancient Egyptian myths as they follow along with the clever Marcy on a quest to save her dad from the belly of the sphinx! Many years have passed since the tale of Arthur and the Golden Rope, and Arthur is now a world-famous adventurer. If only his daughter Marcy shared his enthusiasm for exploration...I like the book. It was very adventurous. It tells us what happens after Arthur and the golden rope and what other adventures he has being on. The book also shows the ancient Egyptian gods. Marcy believes Arthur is in danger and reluctantly traces his path all the way to the Sphinx where she must answer a riddle to rescue her dad who is trapped inside. Geronimo Stiltonoot has the right combination of familiarity and newness to satisfy Stilton fans. (Fiction. 6-10) I am so very glad this is a series! Marcy and the Riddle of the Sphinx is the very definition of charming. I love that the story follows directly behind the previous rather than jumping through other ancestors first (it's cute to see Arthur as a dad!). The art is, of course, stunning! You can really tell that Todd-Stanton was a kid fond of the maps & cutaways that featured in books like Eloise (hard same, my dude, hard same). These addition, to me at least (with my big old 90's nostalgia glasses) give the story an old-school adventure feel in the best way. I can unequivocally say that small child Darcy would have loved this book with both hands (& large child Darcy does too). In this book, readers will follow Marcy, from the adventure stories of her father she loves to hear every night to the adventures she takes of her own. Marcy is afraid of the dark, at home before sleep and out on an adventure with her dad. When a week has gone by and her father hasn’t returned from his urgent business away from home, Marcy decided to go rescue him. From her father’s office, she learns that he has gone to Egypt. Aim with a mission, she feels braver as she climb onto Wind Weaver to travel to Egypt. When Marcy arrives, she meet Thoth, god of knowledge and asks for his help to rescue her dad. He gives her two choices, either go into the belly of the Sphinx in the dark or find Ra, the sun god. Through many challenges, courage, and test of virtues, Marcy must decide the right path to take to rescue her father.
