A Journey: An Adventure Like No Other by Ayush Sharma follows a mysterious book that takes Ethan on a search for ancient treasure. Ethan is a typical teenager who becomes a treasure hunter after a trip to Egypt. Nothing goes the way Ethan thought, which all started after his dad discovers a book that was left for them by his grandfather. The mysterious writing in the book leads Ethan, his friend, and his dad in search of treasure. The journey comes with surprising twists, working with a mysterious stranger, and a surprising connection to a pharaoh.
This is a short read set in Egypt which provides the story with an undercurrent of rich history, mythology, and a quick pace. The setting is stunning with Ayush Sharma drawing the story and the adventure from the location, an important element to the treasure hunt. The book they discover takes Ethan and his group into searching pyramids, which gives the setting the epic vibe of an action-adventure. The story will appeal to those that enjoy quick reads, adventure stories, treasure hunting, and Egyptian history. The story focuses on Ethan and his inner circle, specifically his friend Emily and his dad Nathan who are his co-adventurers. Emily is his strongest travel companion and has been his friend since childhood, thanks to their parents being longtime friends.
The adventure begins with a book that connects to Ethan and his family's history with writing that goes back beyond 3200 BCE. Part of the treasure hunting aspect that builds excitement throughout the story is the search through the pyramids, built-in danger, and solving puzzles. History is an important element to the story in how it connects to their mystery and their treasure hunting. The story ends with a cliffhanger that promises more to come and is just the beginning of Ethan's adventures. A Journey: An Adventure Like No Other has treasure hunting, adventure, and action set within a stunning location.
