Jake Ransom and the Skull King's Shadow by James Rollins

Now I have another book to recommend when students want another Harry Potter or Alex Rider-like book. Yay! I thoroughly enjoyed this adventure of Jake Ransom and his sister into another world. After the death of their explorer parents, Jake is determined to become an archeologist like them. After three years, when the siblings receive an invitation to London to attend a show at the London Museum of their parents' finds, Jake jumps at the chance. His sister Kady isn't too sure. When the two enter some type of portal and find themselves in a jungle with dinosaurs, their parents' teachings help them survive. Thrown into a world with Mayans, Egyptians, Romans, ancient Americans, and other cultures, the two siblings must defend themselves and then try to find a way back to the modern world. The story continues in Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx.
