Charlie may be a genius, but is she smart enough to know who she can trust? When an ancient hidden treasure is at stake, people will do anything to find it first. In a daring adventure that takes her across South America, Charlie must crack Darwin’s 200-year-old clues to track down his mysterious discovery-and stay ahead of the formidable lineup of enemies who are hot on her tail. Afterward, it vanished, never to be seen again… But Darwin left a trail of clues behind for those brave and clever enough to search for it. When he returned, he carried a treasure that inspired both awe and terror in his crew. In 1835, Charles Darwin diverted his ship’s journey so he could spend ten months in South America on a secret solo expedition. That is, until she’s approached by the mysterious Esmeralda Castle, who has a code she knows only Charlie can decipher. After saving the world, Charlie is ready to take it easy in the Galapagos Islands. In this sequel to the New York Times bestselling Charlie Thorne and the Last Equation-which #1 New York Times bestselling author Chris Grabenstein called “a real page-burner”-Charlie searches for Charles Darwin’s hidden treasure in South America. In a breathless adventure that takes her across the globe, Charlie must fight for her life against ruthless enemies, match wits with Cleopatra, and solve the two-thousand-year-old mystery to prevent the most powerful treasure of the ancient world from falling into the wrong hands. She left a series of devious clues behind for her children to find it, but they were lost to history…until now. However, Cleopatra knew Octavian was really after the mysterious item that was the source of all her wealth and influence, so she hid it before dying by suicide. In 30 BCE, Cleopatra and her husband, Marc Antony, lost their war against Octavian for control of the Egyptian Empire. This time, the great ruler Cleopatra has left behind an extremely valuable and powerful treasure, its location encoded on an ancient stone tablet. After tracking down incredible discoveries by Einstein and Darwin, Charlie is back. Charlie Thorne isn’t going down without a fight. In this third book in the Charlie Thorne series from bestselling author Stuart Gibbs, Charlie tracks down Cleopatra’s greatest treasure in Egypt. Someone must stand up to them and somehow, it’s going to be Bruce! His challenge comes when he discovers fellow student Jack Napier and his hired bully Bane shaking down lesser-powered students for money, including that hapless kid Dick Grayson. But how can he do that when he doesn’t have any powers? While the Future-Supers are currently content to simply use their gifts to glide through school and court popularity, Bruce struggles to figure out if he has any gifts at all - and if so, how to use them. Bruce does have a goal though: he wants to make a difference in the world. And when it comes to winning the attention of the most popular girls at school-Diana Prince and Selina Kyle-he figures he stands no chance at all. He doesn’t stand a chance of winning a race against the future Flash, or a swim meet against the future Aquaman, and he always gets picked last for dodgeball. That’s the case for poor Bruce Wayne at the Gotham Preparatory School for the Really, Really, Really Gifted, where the struggles of being un-powered are made worse by the presence of so many exceptionally gifted students. It’s hard enough being in middle school, but it’s even worse when you’re the only kid at your school who doesn’t have super-powers. Bruce is suddenly the least special person in his world-and must learn to work with the talents he does have. But in this case, "gifted" means kids with super-powers. 13-year-old Bruce Wayne attends an exclusive prep school for the gifted.
