|title=The Shadow King: The Bizarre Afterlife of King Tut's Mummy
|author=Jo Marchant
|rating=5
|genre=History
|summary=''Now, if I'd known''<br>
''They'd line up just to see him,''<br>
''I'd taken all my money''<br>
''And bought me a museum.''
These lyrics, taken from a popular Steve Martin song, perfectly epitomize a phenomenon first described in the New York Times, February 1923. The craze came to be known as ''Tut-Mania'' and even now, ninety years later, there is something about the boy-king with the golden mask that ignites the imagination and curiosity of each subsequent generation.

|summary=''Wild'' is the story of a girl who has grown up in the forest with only the animals to care for her, but this is where she belongs and she is happy. All of the animals love her and she loves them. She learns how to speak from the birds, what to eat from the bears, how to play from the foxes, and the deer and the rabbit keep her company as she sleeps. She has no clothing, nor does she need it, Her long mane of unruly green hair covers the important bits and gives her the appearance of something that has sprung to life from the forest itself. She is creature of pure innocence.
