Amazing Story

this was an interesting and Fantastical adventure story filled with lots of near misses and escapes.

Great Book for Homeschool!

We listened to this book as a part of our homeschool curriculum while studying ancient Egypt. The book was not only a fantastic and engaging story with a stellar main character, it also brought to life a lot of what we studied. This is the perfect tie-in for anyone wanting their kids to engage with history.

Theodosia is a well written character who is tenacious, curious, and has interests outside of those “normal” 11 years old have. This is great for kids who may have similar traits. The negative is that she spends a lot of the book lying to her parents and sneaking around, but she’s doing it for the greater good. There is nuance in her relationship with her parents, which gave plenty of opportunities for discussion.

I listened to this with my 7 and 8 year olds. They were able to follow along and enjoyed the plot, but it probably would have been too advanced in both language and concepts for an independent read. We had to pause to discuss words and give context fairly often.

Overall I would highly recommend this book. We’ve tried both the physical copy and the audiobook, and the audiobook really shines for the fantastic narration.

Fun YA for all ages

A sassy genius child navigating through the most outrageous adventures inside and out of a museum and the Egyptian tombs themselves. Believable? Not at all! But that is just a detail in a story that involves gods and potions anyway.

Jolly Good Fun

I have read the series, all wonderful and just couldn't resist this audio book when I heard the sample. Charlotte Parry does a fantastic job of all the characters. I loved all things Ancient Egypt and magic when I was about 11 and this just brought it all back again.

great heroine, fabulous narrator, solid story

I read constantly to know what's out there for my students. Reluctant readers will love the fast pace and plot twists. The characters were delightful and I did appreciate that her parents weren't near as uncaring as originally portrayed.

Indiana Jones meets 11 yr old

Indiana Jones needs an 11-year-old. This is a cute little story. My own 11-year-old trying to get into it. Different way to learn about ancient Egyptian

A fun story.

it took me a little to keep going about ⅓ through but I kept going and loved it.
