Seeing a Large Cat by Elizabeth Peters
4.0
A real turning point for the series, this is the one where Ramses becomes grown up. Although he's always been precocious, with a vocabulary of mile-long words and a tendency to know just a little bit more than the adults around him, in this book he also becomes an action hero and the tall-dark-handsome type who has trouble shaking off admirers.
The other "children" have also grown up and solidified as characters, including Nefret, feisty and tender-hearted, and David, responsible, serious, and always in up to his neck with the plans his two contemporaries dream up.
Add to this the ultimate power couple of Amelia and Emerson, and you have A Family To Be Reckoned With. They can do anything.
The plot in this one involves a rather macabre modern day mummy, a couple of troubled old friends from a previous book, and a firm friendship with Howard Carter (whom they like, but in kind of a patronising way...a fun nod to the modern-day reader who knows exactly what's going to happen in later years/books).
