One of the most iconic characters in children’s books
The Sanders-Hardiman expedition archaeologists and scientists are returning from Peru with the mummy of Incan Rascar Capac. No sooner do they arrive home than, one by one, they are struck down by a mysterious illness. The last remaining is Professor Tarragon.
Join the most iconic character in comics as he embarks on an extraordinary adventure spanning historical and political events, and thrilling mysteries. Still selling over 100,000 copies every year in the UK and having been adapted for the silver screen by Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson in 2011.
The Adventures of Tintin continue to charm more than 90 years after they first found their way into publication. Since then more than 230 million copies have been sold, proving that comic books have the same power to entertain children and adults in the 21st century as they did in the early 20th.
Hergé (Georges Remi) was born in Brussels in 1907. Over the course of 54 years he completed over 20 titles in The Adventures of Tintin series, which is now considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, comics series of all time.

I think it’s really good I liked the story I like how they magically find it. They were looking for and they found it by accident. And I like how Tintin knew the eclipse would happen from the newspaper and used it to trick the Incas. My favorite character was snowy because he talks and he is funny.

It is a fiction book. I like how the llamas always spit in Captain Haddock’s face. I also like the new character, Zorrino. I loved the setting. I also liked The Seven Crystal Balls. I am mentioning The Seven Crystal Balls because this book is the sequel to it.
