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 . . .
Award-winning author Scott Peters brings readers a gripping, funny, and heartfelt mystery set in ancient Egypt. Twelve-year-old Zet and his sister Kat run their family's pottery stall while their father is away at war. When a valuable scroll disappears and a big reward is offered, they see a chance to help their struggling family.

It's a fast-moving adventure packed with history, suspense, and sibling banter kids love.
