The Long Lost Map / Pierdomenico Baccalario / 261 pages

Upon their arrival in Ancient Egypt, Julia, Jason, and Rick hear a knocking on the wall and knock back.   Julia magically returns home, while Jason and Rick encounter Maruch (sp?), an Egyptian girl revealed by the falling wall.  Maruch helps the boys enter the House of Life where they search for Ulysses Moore's map among the Pharaoh's library.  The search must be conducted quickly before the Pharaoh Tut arrives.  Oblivia Newton has somehow made her way to Egypt and is also demanding the map of Kilmore Cove.  They are looking for "the room that isn't there."  Meanwhile, Julia and Nestor, the caretaker, are being stalked by Olivia Newton's henchman, Manfred.  Why did Ulysses Moore hide the map of Kilmore Cove in Egypt?  What does Oblivia want with this map?
