About the Book

From Scott Peters, award-winning author and creator of over 300 museum and science center exhibits worldwide, comes the adventure of a lifetime.

You, who have dug deep and sifted hard for a story to read, have unearthed an ancient treasure: a mystery from the dusty ages, when a kid could be a hero and fight for the good of all . . .

12-year-old Zet and his sister Kat love running their family pottery stall. But it's a struggle to keep afloat, now that their father is away fighting the Hyksos invaders. When the siblings learn that a valuable scroll has gone missing, Zet and Kat decide to join forces and play detective. They set out in search of clues. If they can solve the case, they'll win a huge reward for their family. Their problems will be over! Little do they know what troubles lie ahead.

Kids will love this wild adventure. The hunt for answers sends the brave young duo running along the Nile, poking through strange temples bristling with towering pillars, sneaking past walls covered in ancient hieroglyphics, all in a land of glittering gold and mystery that the world has never forgotten.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
