One of the most iconic characters in children’s books

The world’s most famous travelling reporter must unearth the truth behind the strange cigars bearing a pharaoh’s symbol. On the hunt for an Egyptologist and a mysterious ancient pharaoh, Tintin scours Egypt and India. He makes friends with elephants, narrowly avoids falling victim to the poison of madness and saves a maharajah from a killer tiger. 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 80 years after they first found their way into publication. Since then an estimated 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.  Have you collected all the graphic novel adventures?

It was good but a bit emotional at times and almost made me cry. My favourite character is Snowy the dog. He's really cute because he loves to go with Tintin on his adventures.

This book is fiction and looks like a comic, but is a book. I didn't like how Thompson and Thomson think that tintin owned a boat that was carriying weapons, when he has never owned a boat, and they now that. I loved the book.

It was fun but it was bit too mysterious when Dr Sarcophagus got poisoned.
