UNCOVER the legendary Mia Pharaoh, a mummified Egyptian queen buried deep beneath the desert sands for thousands of years!

Use latitude and longitude to identify locations on a map ? Trace a word's origins and explore word roots, prefixes, and suffixes ? Find synonyms using the index in a thesaurus And everything else you need to know to get the most out of your reference books! Dictionaries, almanacs, thesauri, and atlases often seem overwhelming, even to the best students. But after you discover the secret of the giant tomes, you'll have a world of knowledge at your fingertips -- and the thanks of a grateful treasure hunter.
