"A clean, well-researched adventure for middle graders."
"Homeschoolers, add this gem to your stack of Ancient Civ historical fiction."
"As a former teacher, I am always interested in books that may get children reading, and this is one!"
12-year-old Zet and his sister Kat are in charge of the family pottery stall now that their father is off fighting the Hyksos. Who knew putting food on the table could be so hard? Customers are shopping less and less, and Zet's mother and baby brother are depending on him. He has to do something fast.
When he hears about a thief who's stolen an important scroll--and that there's a reward for the thief's capture--he's sure his prayers have been answered. All he has to do is find the man with the stolen scroll and he'll be richly rewarded.
Soon, however, things grow complicated. The chase leads him into forbidden temples whispering with the voices of ancient gods, into a web that threatens to crush his family forever.
