Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an advanced copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.

This book was super fabulous. I would highly recommend it to any 8-14 year old kid who is into adventure books. This is a great addition to the "I escaped" series.

I escaped Egypt's deadliest train disaster follows Sam and his new friend Zahara who find themselves on a train from Cario to Luxor when one of the train cars catches on fire. They scramble to try to alert the engineer that there's a problem while also trying to get passengers to be aware of the dangers on board.

I enjoyed this so much-- from the spunky characters to the setting, it was all so great. There were photos throughout of some of the things our characters were facing. The art was a great additional touch and really added some color to the story. It was suspenseful without being too scary, which I think is a great balance for a middle grade novel.

The end of the book also included quotes from actual survivors of the accident and some historical information about Egypt as well. I think it's really cool that this book was a fun adventure story for kids while also being informational and educational. Well done to the authors!
