Indiana Jones and the Giants of the Silver Tower 2 reviews R.L. Stine
Ballantine Books, 1984
Great story that involves the reader
All of the books in this series are fun for the reader, because they involve the reader in the story. In fact, the reader controls where the story goes. The plot in this book is great, as Indy and the reader take an adventure into the Himilayas. A great read especially for younger readers.

William Morrow, 2007
Why a reissue??
+ The mummy case
I love this series, and this title is a lot of fun, not least because of Ramses. I recommend the whole series to anyone who likes lighthearted mysteries, even though the later ones, set in and around WWI, are darker in tone.
But my question remains... why are they reprinting this in hardback? ...
