Bookroo's summary

In the quiet town of Sultana, Eric, Rachel, and Cody face the threat of moving away as tourism dwindles. Desperate to save their home, they stage the discovery of an 'ancient Egyptian' tablet, drawing crowds and experts. But as their hoax gains momentum, the trio must navigate the chaos they've unleashed. Can they keep their secret, or will their plan unravel, taking their dreams with it? Dive into a tale of friendship, ingenuity, and unexpected consequences.

From the publisher

Life is getting more dismal by the minute in the tiny town of Sultana. The tourists are gone, business is slow, and if it gets any slower, Eric and Rachel’s family will be forced to move away. Luckily, Eric, Rachel, and their friend Cody have a plan to transform this sleepy town into a hotbed of activity. In an elaborate hoax that makes headlines and sends archaeologists and tourists flocking to Sultana, the kids orchestrate the discovery of an “ancient Egyptian” tablet in a local riverbed. But sometimes the best-laid plans work out a little too well. How are the three friends going to explain their way out of this one?
