The award-winning middle-grade survival series returns with its 9th adventure.

While exploring the land of mummies, pyramids, and the Nile, fifteen-year-old Sam from Washington, DC is swept into a real-life train disaster.

Fifteen-year-old Sam is thrilled to be riding a rickety train on a family vacation in Egypt. He can't wait to tell his friends back home at school about seeing ancient mummies, pyramids, and the Cairo museum. He gets up to stretch his legs and explore as they race alongside the Nile. Suddenly, a fire erupts in one of the cars. Smoke and sparks begin to spread and the train picks up speed, zooming into the dark night. Sam springs into action, trying to make his way back to his parents in the panicked crowd. He doesn't even speak the language-he's just a kid from Washington, DC! This isn't exactly what he imagined when he came to see the land of Egyptian mummies, ancient pharaohs, and the Nile. But his quick thinking and determination could be the key to stopping this out-of-control train. But if anyone knows Sam, they know he'll never give up hope.

Based on Egypt's famous train disaster, this middle grade survival story combines adventure, real history, travel, and problem-solving under pressure.

Perfect for readers who love inspiring stories of bravery, fast-paced historical fiction, resourceful thinking, and books that make history feel real.
