Twelve-year-old Zet and his sister Kat run their family's pottery stall in ancient Egypt while their father fights invaders. Desperate for money, they pursue a missing scroll for a reward. Their quest leads them through temples and along the Nile, into a world of gods and danger. Can they solve the mystery before it's too late?
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 boy could be a hero and fight for the good of all . . . Zet and Kat are in charge, now that their father’s off fighting in Pharaoh’s army. But times are hard. Sales are dead at their family pottery stall. When Zet learns of a reward to capture a thief, he’s determined to win it. At first, the clues seem easy to track. Then he begins to fear things have gone too far. The chase leads them into forbidden temples whispering with the voices of ancient gods, into a web that threatens to crush their family forever.
